Hi all, this issue been bothering me for quite sometime. Recently i purchased a Acer Nitro 5 AN515-43-R9B3 come with R5 3550H and RX560x GPU and 4GB 2666Mhz RAM. I installed additional 8GB 2400Mhz RAM to make it total 12GB of RAM but task manager shown 2.1GB as Hardware Reserved. Does Ryzen cpu reserved more ram memory for their integrated Vega 8 comparing to intel cpu? Would like to hear from others owner of Ryzen laptop user.

This is due to reserved memory from the integrated GPU icon_idea.gif

You will need to reduce the usage by changing it from the BIOS, but you might not be able to do so due to BIOS restrictions icon_idea.gif

Seem like upgrading RAM is the only solution. Btw are you a Ryzen laptop owner?

If you have a Lenovo laptop you can actually change the amount of reserved memory for the integrated GPU - but you'll need to update the BIOS first (it's in the settings UMA Frame Buffer) icon_idea.gif

I have a Thinkpad X395 that can do this (once changed you can have something like 7.8GB rather than 5.9GB) icon_idea.gif
