I recently purchased 24gb of RAM and set it up. When I check my PC, it shows 24gb installed, but when launching games such as Warzone, it displays only 8gb available. I’m trying to figure out a way to utilize more RAM for gaming purposes.

It could be related to your VRAM. I've played Warzone with over 16GB of RAM, yet it doesn't consume that much.

24GB RAM is unusual. It suggests you might have two 8GB units or three 8GB units installed. This could lead to some RAM being marked as "hardware reserved." If the 16GB is split into two 8GB sets, begin with just that amount installed. Look in the task manager to confirm if a significant portion appears as hardware reserved.

I just looked at my VRAM and saw it's only 8GB. Is there a method to utilize the RAM I purchased for VRAM purposes? Or should I be purchasing a different GPU?

68.8mb of memory is set aside for my use.

This isn't an unreasonable point.
For a 32bit executable, the system will restrict memory usage to 4GB.

Can you determine whether the game operates in a 32-bit architecture?

When you open the Windows Task Manager and examine the process, it will display "32bit" next to the executable name.

It's only my GPU, but I didn't have RAM, so it wouldn't function properly in games since they require VRAM.
