why disable shared memory for card? the reason is simple, you don't need it, and it's also slower. Memory: 16384MB RAM installed in your pc, with 1/2 being shared to your vga, which imo (in my opinion) is a waste, i'll give you the easy bit to explain my reasons and choices... Display Memory: 12227 MB Dedicated Memory: 4058 MB Shared Memory: 8168 MB your vga card is a GTX 970 which uses 4GB of GDDR5 memory, or will do if you only use this, if you use shared memory it's down graded to the slower part, which is system memory, which is what? DDR4 or even 3, which slows down the speed on which the GPU gets the information, that's why normally it uses the fastest and why good cards come with GDDR5 memory in the first place and makes it cost a premium price, second 4GB is more than plenty as you only use 1920 x 1080 as shown in your report. next windows 10, while it will work with 8GB of ram, it likes more, so limiting it with less isn't or doesn't make much sense, no game at 1920 x 1080 will use more, or if it does, the drop off from slower memory regarding it's use and and any extra FPS will be null and void compared to the loss of the use to the O/S imo. will it make any difference to the game and error above, i'd guess not also, and if it's a new fresh install, then you have something else which is causing the slow down, so for me, either it's the background apps you run, or the amount etc, easy way to check this is make a gaming profile or use safemode, which limits the amount of apps running at start up so you can check if it's a software or hardware issue. stuff to check for or ask yourself, what is slowing the pc down so much? for me, find out what Anti virus you use and disable it, unplug from the net while you do it, and see if it runs any better. use a clean profile on each boot, or a cleaner profile, so more resources are free for windows to use, as the less background apps you have running on each boot, the better windows will run and also will be quicker, so both help games... one of my pc's at a boot, with a cleaner profile, almost the same spec as your's with no game errors
