New Member ASRock GPU Thread

You have now set the minimum allocation to 512mb, this is the lowest amount that
the OS will report to applications. As I said, the memory sharing scales to what
the programs need. it dynamically allocates and reallocates RAM to vRAM and back.

There is absolutely no incentive for manufacturers to trick or persuade users to
buy a dedicated GPU, there is absolutely no guarantee that the user will purchase
a GPU from them over a competitor. iGPU functionality is a balancing act beteen
system resources and GPU performance. That is the only reason shared memory is
dynamic. It allows the system to allocate more memory to the system when there
are no graphically intensive loads and more to the iGPU when there are. It's
that simple. When you factor in that the majority of people using an iGPU are using
more budget focused systems, it also stands to reason that they would not have
huge amounts of RAM to work with. iGPU RAM allocation becomes a non issue with
32gb and beyond.

On my systems that don't need/use a dedicated GPU I leave the share memory allocation
set to auto.

Shared memory is automatically allocated depending on your amount of RAM and the
demand from the application in use (or game). In general (windows) use a
minimum of 128mb is allocated.

That is my understanding at least. At one point some years ago some games
mistakenly report only 128mb of vRAM and refuse to load but I suspect that has
been addressed now.

I hope this explanation helps.

Here is your new thread.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried raising a Support ticket yet their system is currently broken & although I've tried multiple times, the ticket hasn't gone through & I've not received a confirmation email!

I tried on a few different browsers (Edge, Opera & Chrome) & different devices yet they all did the same thing - Form filled out, hit "Submit", page reloads back to a blank form! And no email received (All email folders checked).

Hey all,

I've just recently purchased the Arc B580 Steel Legend 12gb OC and struggling to get the ASRRBGLED app to work to control the LED lighting!

I've installed the .NET runtime libraries and On initial startup it starts normal with the card listed.

The moment I try to adjust any settings the app hangs! The LEDs on the card "Freeze" and I'm unable to do anything else! Restarting the App does nothing along with forcing it closed via Task Manager & re-trying again!

Even soft boots fail to fix it - App loads but nothing works & the GPU LEDs are still frozen.

Only a complete system shutdown & then having to cold start fixes the issue!

Going into Computer Management on the PC and checking the logs, it shows up as
a missing .NET library - which I've got installed! (Yes, It's the correct version & Library file

I also have Razer Keyboard which should also be able to link the the ASRRGBLED App yet that's also missing from devices - there's also no options to be able link the GPU LED to the Razer apps (which reading on their website, there should be).


Anyone got any ideas of what's going on?

NOTE:
This is all on a brand new system, New Windows 11 install, All latest drivers installed. AM5 socket on B650 chipset.

Cheers for any help.
