Does graphics card reduce RAM usage?

Usually in the BIOS on the motherboard you can specify how much of the system RAM will be allocated to the GPU. If the CPU does NOT have a built-in GPU and you use a PCIexpress graphics card, then no, it won’t use up RAM…. BUT…… with the older 32-bit systems you could still ‘lose’ RAM.

Yes that is good. you can easily play most games at 1080p and even at 1440p, however some games wont work so well at 2160p (4k).

Is 1gb RAM graphic card enough for gaming?

Depends what kind of game you play. If you only play games that just require integrated graphics to run smoothly, you can use a 1gb vram graphics card. However if you want to play PUBG or assassin creed these kind of vram demanding games you better to have at least 4gb of vram.

In CPUs these days the iGPU is used for certain tasks, maybe Windows ones, and it may not be good to limit this to 256 MB. I’m sure Windows memory management is better than what a user can do.

It is because the windows reserves and eats my ram, and Apex Legends struggles because there is no free RAM avaliable. On the GPU 1 tab, it says GPU memory is 7.9 GB.
