AMD 3020E internal GPU reserved memory

[luisgo]

Dear All,

I have a portable with a AMD 3020E CPU and seems that the internal GPU hard reserves 2 GBytes of the memory ( 8 GBytes RAM installed and 5.88 GBytes usable in Windows 11). With GPU-Z I found that the GPU uses 2GBytes. Is this memory hard reserved or the amount of it can be changed?

Thanks,

Luís Gonçalves

Depending on your BIOS options, yes but it would only be to use more, probably up to 4GB

It seems to be possible -- at least according to this video...

but the problem is that laptops tend to have really cut down and restricted bioses compared to desktop boards so you might not even have 80% of the options thats normally shown in a regular desktop board.

Just follow the video and see if you can find the same option in your bios.

It is a Lenovo V15 ADA and the Bios is very simple without such option in the above video.

then youre out of luck. Im aware that Intel had a registry key that would allow you to set the amount of shared memory you allow the GPU to use but im not aware if there is such thing on AMD

• In the registry, key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\GMM, value of the DWORD item DedicatedSegmentSize is interpreted as number of MB to use.

You can try looking for the reg key but i usually dont recommend messing with the registry unless youre happy to reinstall windows if something goes wrong.


Not a whole lot you can do here. It is what it is.
