If it had 10 GB at the higher speed it would still be hamstrung, but not as badly as it is with 8 GB and 2 GB that's essentially unusable except for maybe UI overlays.

The 2 is mostly used by the OS. Yes, it would be better if it was all faster but it still wouldn't be used by the GPU as it's segmented.

It's all moot to my original point though. Having more RAM isn't some miracle or a sign it will be faster.
