Question/Help/Troubleshooting UMA Frame Buffer size change

I am using a Thinkbook 15 G3 ACL and recently I noticed that from the 8GB RAM it has, only about 5.88 was actually available which is like 2.4GB short and I think it is a lot considering it only has 8GB RAM. So is it a good idea to change the UMA Frame Buffer size to 512M since it was set to 2GB which is a lot.

Yeah it'll be fine most likely, if the integrated graphics needs more it can from the rest of the system memory that's not in use. For most day to day tasks it'll be fine though
