The manager displays the total memory consumption, which includes RAM and VRAM usage. It does not just show the percentage of RAM used by the system, games, or apps.

It varies. Certain GPUs rely on system memory, while others don’t. When using system memory, there might be another method to describe it. Back then, it was handled by a change in the overall memory capacity. I’m not sure if this applies to your setup.

Generally, APUs rarely rely on DRAM; VRAM usage is typically specified independently in the task manager.

The specific "Memory" area in the Task Manager is set aside just for RAM. To check your VRAM usage, navigate to the "GPU" section instead.

Modern GPUs handle this as well. Previous models hid VRAM usage from the system, meaning with 16GB RAM and an iGPU using 2GB, the operating system displays 14GB instead of the actual amount.

It's crucial to follow the BIOS steps when switching from a full APU to an APU with a discrete graphics card. Even if the iGPU is turned off, it might still use 2GB of RAM unnecessarily unless you set it up in BIOS to prevent allocation. This can help avoid performance hiccups or issues on some systems.
