Basicaly what the title said. I have two memory sticks. Both kingston blues. One is a 4gb 1600mhz and the other one is a 2gb 1333mhz. If I use them both, the system automaticly downclocks the larger stick to 1333mhz. The thing is - either way if I use the 4gb alone or the combined 6gb of ram, my system only uses 3.46gb of the ram. (this shows up in the system specs as -total amount-(-amount usable-).
Is this caused by my video card who might be hogging up the ram? I run a R9 270x 2gb version, and under its specifications it has several amounts of memory listed. They go as
total memory available - 3564mb
dedicated memory - 2048mb
system video memory - 0mb
shared system memory - 1516mb
Full system specs :
CPU : i5 4670 3.4ghz
Mobo : MSi b85-g41 pc mate
Vcard : MSi R9 270x 2gb ddr5
Ram : Kingston HyperX blu 4gb ddr3 1600mhz (and the other stick of 2gb ddr3 1333mhz)
Case : Gigabyte GZ-X2 with a custom side fan.
