16GB of VRAM with RYZEN 7 5700G on Integrated Graphics - Managing AMD APU Dedicated Graphics Memory

This was super helpful. 🙏

Question: so once you set it to 16 GB, did you see a noticeable improvement in graphics performance or not?

My BIOS don't have anything to change the ram settings the BIOS are super

Hello guys, I am running a ryzen 5 3400g on a gigabyte B45M s2h motherboard with 16Gb of RAM. I have tryied everything in order to give more than 2Gb VRam to my system but in Bios the max setting for VRam is 2Gb. I want to bust the performance in order to be abble and play some more games. Its worth to buy some other RAM (32Gb 3600Mh with 75euro) in order to upgrade my VRam or to choose a GPU like 2060 super or 6700xt (with 200-350 euro). Thanks in advance!!

Great to work on ai on low cost

Does increasing VRAM make rendering faster? I am running Ryzen 7 5700G with integrated graphics. 64Gb RAM, 4GB dedicated VRAM.

When rendering 4K, 4GB VRAM is being used. I want to increase it.

Was only able to run 4x bluestacks 1core 2gbs of ram "per instance" with corsair 64gb of ram at 3600mhz the integrated graphics was running at 50% and something didnt seem right..

Went an gave this bad boy 16GBs of dedicated vram and now the graphics are running at 10% and running 5x blue stack instances.

ryzen 5700G <OVER POWERED FOR 249.99 CANADIAN.>

Well, that's amazing. I am planning on getting an ASROCK DESKMINI and installing a 5700G. Then adjusting the VRAM to 8GB at least so I can run Stable Diffusion. My 3060Ti in my gaming setup only has 8GB of VRAM. ;)

Can you please help me? The max vram allowed for me to use is 2GB, even tho I have 24 GB of ram total

These Ryzen igpus are so easy and fun to tweak, and they provide an excuse to tweak and upgrade other stuff too. I don't know why it's not more widely discussed. Allocating more memory, increasing igpu memory clock frequency (= fclk)...buying more RAM, and faster RAM (I'm still on AM4, they're giving DDR4 away), to increase amount of allocatable memory and raise RAM/fclk (igpu memory clock) frequency...With my 5600G, I play old games like SupCom 1/2, and new games like Factorio, maxed, 60+ fps. I'll get a separate card eventually, because I love graphics cards, but I've really enjoyed tweaking and using the igpu on this 5600G.

Well details. Thanks for your knowledge.
Can suggest some Budget motherboard for this .
Need best overclocking.
Could you tell a VGA Card for this Ryzen 7 5700G?

I thought u were going to run some benchmarks on it? lol

Hello, very interesting, whereever i look, most people only put the UMA buffer to 4gb, i have never seen people up it to 16gb.

I have a question, so i am using 5700G on a Jupiter X300 chipset ( ASRock ) and i am planning to use a 16x2 DDR4 Dual channel 3200Mhz Ram ( so 32Gb total RAM )

Would it be adviceable to set UMA buffer to 16GB using 32gb Ram? or should use 4gb is sufficient for normal gaming?

It doesn't matter because it's the same ram.

then go buy a video card this is what video cards are for this video is foolishness 🙄🙄🙄🙄

On my mainboard [Gigabete A520M) I can only select up to 2GB which is also what Auto uses. If I select Game Optimized it ends up using 4GB instead. I still use Win10 in bios mode (CSM), once I enable uefi (disable CSM) in bios I can select up to 16GB. I won't go there for now

ASRock B550 itx board does this as well, defaults to 512mb regardless. I had 32gb ram installed for 5700g and still only took 512mb. I could change it manually though, up to 16gb

Run stable disfussion

How do you get to bios

Holy crap! You wasn't joking about the bios being a mess when trying to get this to work

Thank you that was helpful.
Tip: try not so sigh

amd does not use northbridge for long time, its usually processed also by PCH

Hello there. My motherboard is designed by hp and is for a laptop. Is this method exclusively for PC or can it be used for laptop motherboards as well?

How do you know if the scaling is working?

I've got the ryzen 5560u which doesn't have a bios setting to change UMA frame buffer, this mean its VRAM or dedicated gpu memory is fixed at 512mb. This mean Edge crashes when you have too many tabs open. I can only think this is fixed in the drivers. ;(

if I go with RTX 3060 with Ryzen 5700g is they are going to combine well? I mean if I buy that with this processor is there any chance that I am going to face bottleneck?

I cant find that sett in my bios

hi sir may i ask why my uma only detects 2gb ? but i have 16gb of ram

thank you very much

Auto generally seems best - but it's in my experience it's made not a jot of difference where I set it.

But I understand the ability to reserve RAM to UMA buffer is largely there to allow for applications that react poorly if they do not see enough VRAM. Eg a game that refuses to launch without 4gb VRAM.

Also. I know windows handles this "scale on demand" approach well, but I'm not sure all other operating systems (Linux?) would.

its harmful for Processor ?

Wait so all you have to do is open bios and set to how many gb u want?

Increasing vram harmful for pc ? I manually set 2gb for vram. I have 1 stick 8gb ram. Now, gaming fps improved a lot but video rendering time increased

Does this improve video editing too?

Have you test this on games?

I use a RYZEN 5700G with 32GB memory clocked at 3200Mhz and I dedicate 8GB of memory exclusively to graphics. Is 8GB enough for Photoshop or do I reduce the 8GB to 4GB?

If you're sighing I'll be moaning.

Desempenho 512m vs 16g mesma bosta.

Will increasing dedicated vram help in gaming because shared memory is already 31gb+ (in your case). Because if gpu needs ram it can share it from shared memory.

Even if you have 64gb RAM I wouldn't assign more than 4GB for the video card. There won't be cases where the software is using more than those, and even if there is, the iGPU will take the ram if needed.

Thank you, i got lucky and had the same uefi

I just did this with my Ryzen 5 5600g w Radeon Graphics. I have 16gb of ram and set the VRAM usage to 4gb. Will this have a positive affect on my gaming performance?

excuse me, my cpu is 5600g, how can I disable the igpu function since I bought a gtx 1660 ti gpu? thank you

Hi, I've ryzen 5 5600g, vram shows only 512 mb while playing. Can I increase the vram and does increasing vram void the warranty ?

I don't get what you said about needing to increase the minimum vram. You already said that it should scale to the needs of the application. i.e. photoshop, why why then would you ever need to increase it?

Just to experiment I tried increasing the size on a Gigabyte mobo, but on reboot it changes itself back to auto.

4g bőven elég nem kell 16 gb tul lassu ahoz a kártya.

For examle on Witcher 3 I set it to 4GB and got a good increase of FPS! Thanks

If I upgrade my system ram (which I’m planning to do for other reasons other than increasing vram) will it automatically assign more system ram to dedicated vram?

My new and updated ROG Strix b550-e only offers max 8gb. Even though I have 32gb ram. Anone an idea whats going on here?

I have 5700g when I render in 3ds max cpu goes 100% and ram 16gb almost 15gb 😠
