Win10 has requisitioned half of my 8 GB of System RAM as "back up" for the 8 GB 1080GTX
Just upgraded to Win10 and dxdiag is showing that Win10 has requisitioned half of my system RAM as "shared memory" for my 8 GB 1080GTX. I also see in task manager that I am already at and over 50% system RAM utilization before starting any games. As you hopefully agree (unless I don't know what I'm talking about) there is no way in hell any game needs to be using more than the 8GB of Video Memory that comes on the 1080GTX.. and I need that System memory available for games because it seems like I am getting sluggish performance. Can anyone possibly assist in fixing this? Edit.. and I already checked my BIOS settings and not seeing any video allocation section.. will check again and update if its there
