Games will only use the VRAM they need. The higher the game settings and resolution the higher the VRAM usage.

Looking at user benchmark results the reason for poor performance is most likely your single channel RAM, that really hurts performance. Also in cpu heavy games a quad core/thread cpu is going to be limiting. Trouble is RAM is best bought in matched kits to avoid issues so the best option is buying a 2x8gb kit and selling your 1x8gb.

What games are you having problems with? What are their FPS in game? What are your cpu and gpu usages in game?
