Abstract

What dedicated and shared GPU memory in Task Manager mean, why integrated GPUs show little dedicated and a lot of shared memory, how the limit is set, and what happens when it runs short. Archived version of https://comcomponent.com/en/blog/task-manager-dedicated-shared-gpu-memory/, as published on 2026-11-04. The live article is maintained and may change after this date.
