Hi everyone, I have a few questions regarding dedicated GPU memory and how it's been affecting my current pc.
For a brief overview of my problem, my PC has had FPS problems for awhile (mainly over the covid pandemic) and during this time, the parts market in general had been quite selective and limited. I was thinking the reason for the FPS drops and stuttering, even at low frames was probably because of my GPU. Since I have more spending money now, and the market is more reasonable, I'm looking to upgrade my old GPU based on what I think is wrong, but I'd like someone else to confirm my suspicions that my GPU is the problem and that an upgrade is what would fix my FPS and stuttering issues.
Firstly, here is a picture of my task manager.
I'm assuming the big problem here is that I only have 0.3 dedicated GPU memory to use as when I play games like ROR2 or Overwatch, my GPU utilization spikes from 60-100% I am guessing that it is because it only has 0.3 dedicated GPU memory? Another question I have, what generally is dedicated GPU memory, how did I end up with only 0.3GB to spare, and are there ways to give myself back more dedicated GPU memory?
I was looking to upgrade to an EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB XC, as my build can handle the upgrade. Will this upgrade fix my issue of FPS, lag, and stuttering in most modern games? (Keep in mind I play all my games at the lowest settings too, and I still lag.)
Any help/insight is greatly appreciated
