Disable AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics to free Ram Memory

Hello, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 that has a dedicated GTX 1650 graphics card and 8Gb of ram but only displays 5,9 Gb. I entered in contact with Lenovo and was informed that the AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics consumes 2 Gb of the ram. I would like to know how to disable the AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics and use only me GTX 1650 to free up all my ram.

You will need to check in your Laptop's BIOS setting to see if there is a setting for increasing or decreasing the IGPU vRAM memory.

8Generally the minimum amount is 528 MB up to 2 GB of System Ram can be used for your IGPU.  But in newer laptops the maximum is probably higher than 2 GB.

If there isn't any BIOS Setting to decrease the vRAM for your IGPU then Lenovo has made the 2 GB RAM memory permanent.

Also in a laptop you might not be able to disable the IGPU since it works together with the discrete GPU card.

Best thing to do is increase your Laptop's System RAM Memory to 16GB if possible.
