Shared GPU memory taking half of my System memory

[ghostx7]

First of all my spec:

BIOS: BIOS Date: 04/10/18 20:22:16 Ver: 05.0000C (type: BIOS)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
Memory: 12288MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 12248MB RAM
Graphics Card: ASUS Nvidia GT710 v2(Overclocked to max)
Page File: 3690MB used, 9325MB available

Recently i added a 8GB of Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2400MHz ram to an old ADATA 4GB DDR4 2400MHz 'cause i can play fortnite better (My spec doesn't support PUBG ;( )
So i have now total 12GB of of ram in my system.... But my system only take 6GB of ram when playing and pagefile tries to show up. My another 6GB goes to shared GPU memory....
which i have no use... and my FPS still sucks after buying new ram ;( Stuttering and FPS drop still haunting me
So i was asking is there any to reduce the shared GPU memory so i can get better space in my ram????????

I would bet money that your graphics card is the cause of your fps drops. It barely meets the minimum requirements for fortnite, and it will struggle if you have the settings turned up at all. Is that 100% gpu use in the picture under load?

You can change the amount of ram that is allocated to the gpu in the BIOS as a quick fix.

Well I was thinking to upgrade my GPU
But my problem is memory availability... My bios does not have any allocation option in it.

Windows does a pretty good job of allocating ram space for where it is needed most. Just because it is shared does not mean that it is unusable as ram. It just means that once your vram maxes it out, it will start pulling up to 6 gb from the ram and no more. If you are getting pagefile errors, then your gpu is pulling tons of ram, and once your ram fills up, it is pulling from the hard drive giving you the pagefile. Try turning down the graphics to see if that frees up some resources.

I am not seeing anything in those pictures that suggests that your ram is causing the issue. In fact, your ram is doing it's best to prop up a weak gpu by lending it resources. If you limit the amount of shared ram, then I'm betting the game won't even load.

Yeah I know . But that 6gb is unusable for me. After 6GB my pagefile starts to use ... I observed that in afterburner OSD
So I was asking is there any way to reduce it...
Before my 8gb ram it was 2gb shared memory on 4gb ram.
Filling a 12GB ram is a joke on my system
