Question Max shared memory for Ryzen 5 8600G IGPU

[Pimpom]

What's the maximum amount of RAM that the Ryzen 5 8600G's IGPU can share from system memory? Does it depend only on the motherboard BIOS setting?

I vaguely recall something like 2GB but I can't find that bit of information anywhere now. Maybe I'm confusing it with something else.

That depends on your motherboard but you can use this sort of as a guide;

It doesn't matter. If Windows needs the igpu to have more ram, it will automatically asign more ram.
You should always assign in bios the smallest amount of ram possible for the igpu, because dedicated vram and shared system ram is the same for an igpu, because it is all just ram, in this case ddr5. There is NO performance impact. For a dedicated gpu you have real vram that is much faster than ram and it does matter. Not for the igpu. Windows will just share ram with it dynamically and will allocate as much as the igpu requests, up to 8 or 16 for the 8600g I dont remember which, as long as that ram is free.

Yeah, the amount of ram is automatically allocated as vram when needed. Setting a maximum would deduct whatever portion of ram you set away from other things the system and also game would use.
