hey guys my last mobo got destroyed and i bought this one with the following specs:
amd 3400 2.7 ghz apu , 6gb ram , gtx 750 ti 2gb & gigabyte ga-a75m-ud2h motherboard
but i,m getting too much total video memory of 6gb from which 2 gb is of graphics card and 4gb is shared which i think is slowing my computer , as the frame rate in gta 5 is so much staggering and never goes above 30FPS and keeps lagging i,m using windows 10 64bit so can anyone tell me a fix or anything..please help..
 
Windows erroneously references "shared" memory on the graphics adapter for some reason. It does not mean it's actually allocating your PC's memory to video power. A dedicated GPU and system memory are independent of each other. The only time your PC will use shared memory for video is if you use the onboard CPU graphics or your motherboard is doing something really crazy. Your performance issue is elsewhere (weak hardware).

Hello I have win 10 + 6GB of dedicated GDDR5 and from what windows(1709)shows, i have 200MB use for windows it self and when i go to games windows uses nearly equal of shared and dedicate V-Ram, so i know that shared v-ram does not use only when Dedicated runs out. I had 2GB+2GB use when there was still 4GB of dedicated video ram untouched on my Laptop.
