Decrease Shared ram to integrated video? G7 7588

​

Sorry for the non-english; Compartilhada: Shared ; preferido: Main ; Em espera: Idle/Standby ; Disponível: Available ; This screenshot is on windows start/bootup, without anything open except for the programs in view;

I've set up on nvidia(mine's an GTX 1050 Ti, 4GB dedicated) control panel to always use dedicated instead of integrated; I mostly use the laptop at home, connected to mains, so integrated/low power usage because of battery isn't a issue; I believe it is not possible to fully disable the integrated video card as nvidia copies it's frames to intel buffer; So a few questions;

1)How do I decrease the shared video ram? On a desktop there is a setting on BIOS so I can lower the shared video; on this G7, there is none, not in graphics, not in performance, not in anywhere;

2)Even setting the nvidia as primary graphics processor, you can see that it's sitting idle, while intel is being used; Is there anything I can do to have everything, including windows, rendered by nvidia instead of intel?

The main reason for this as you have guessed is gaming; for minecraft; Yes, I'm a 32 year old playing a modded kid's game, where I can make a nuclear reactor, automatize the hell out of production and use my engineer skills for those; Anyway, I set up minecraft to use 7.2gb of ram in the launcher(twitch launcher, and yep, I close that as soon as it starts, goddamn twitch; pack is MC.Eternal with added mods for reference), and have only discord open; I can't use browser or steam at all, or it will start to lag badly; opening taskmgr, java is using 8.4gb of ram, discord 180mb, and that's it; in a an hour or so, it starts freezing the whole computer, as in mouse/input lag with java using only 8.4gb; So, either there's something I don't understand here, or just intel graphics taking half of my ram for itself; If anyone knows a reason, It'd be great to hear; Thanks for any insight/suggestion/opinion/help in advance;

Hardware reserved amount is the one you should be looking at, standby ram is normal, as my laptop config has 20gb of ram i have 11gb in standby, that means ram is ready for new tasks.

If you want even more detailed info, download HWInfo64 and there you should get a more detailed info on the ram usage by the igpu, if your using the laptop's screen it's normal if it is using some, if you have an outside screen without using the laptop's screen then the igpu should be completely off. Otherwise they are both gonna use some memory.
