beers Moderator Staff member Oct 5, 2014 #43 What video card do you have? Some cards feature a 'turbocache' kind of mechanism where they will reserve a chunk of system RAM in addition to their onboard RAM (granted 1 GB + 512 MB is not 2 GB of VRAM ).

Do you have a memory remapping setting in your bios? n64gk said: i think it may be dedicating some to video ram, as it now says i have 2gb of vram when my graphics card is 512mb Click to expand... That's probably Vram, virtual memory.
