Question Will adding more RAM still affect the graphics storage?

[ashleygraham]

I'm interested in purchasing the Ryzen 5 3400G APU and noticed that with an 8GB RAM stick, the graphics memory is allocated 2GB. I'm curious if increasing the RAM to 16GB or 32GB would expand the graphics memory. However, the Asus Prime A320M-E motherboard I plan to buy lists 2GB as the maximum shared memory. Will adding more RAM still affect the graphics storage?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The maximum allocated memory would be 2GB, not more than that.

Hey there,

Ram amount, no, not really (only in particular cases). I'd say a min of 16gb

Fast ram, yes, most certainly will affect the iGPU in gaming.

16gb could get tied up a little in really demanding games. 32gb gives you reserve space, and you could run plenty of Chrome tabs too.

You may not be able to increase the 2gb, but, if you can replace that 8gb stick with a dual channel kit, you will be able to run in faster dual channel , increasing the performance of the cpu and graphics.
