I recently got a new (open box) laptop that was supposed to come with a Radeon R7 M340 GPU with 2GB of GDDR3 (that together with the APU make a Radeon R8 M445DX Dual Graphics set up), but testing it out, several programs only detected 1GB or RAM? Am I doing something wrong or is there something wrong with the laptop?

You're a bit of a fucking idiot, it says so right there under memory size.

Perhaps you were looking at gpu clock

1GB of ordinary ram maybe?

the apu graphics might reserve a chunk of normal ram for itself, sounds funny to have two graphics cards in a lappy

That's the problem, GPU-Z is detecting 2 GB but in, for example in GTA 5, it detects only 1 GB, this is dedicated GPU, its 2GB of RAM is not shared with the laptop which is why this is so weird

>>61008665
Like I said before, the R7 340 is supposed to have 2GB of RAM itself, the APU/motherboard itself is DDR4 anyway.
>>
>>61008944
In that case, i apologies, I didn't understand the problem correctly, there are but two reasons i can think of.
>Old card
>Old game

That's what i experienced with my laptop with Nvidia card in it which also was 2GB
>>
Problem with apu/ dual graphics is the apu is always the primary gpu, so it limits any gpu paired with it. In other words, your apu is cucking your gpu
>>

Well GTA5 is a pretty old game now but I've never had this problem with desktop cards?

>>61009604

Well as you can see the APU is 512MB of DDR4, should I disable dual graphics and see if I get the 2GB from my R7 M340 or would that be pointless?
>>
>>61009688
In that case I think the game doesn't recognize the card, I'm nothing a technical gangster so I can't help further.

Install a mod that removes the limit of how much you can tinker with the settings in gta 5/4 if you'd like.
>>
>>61009688
Disabling dual graphic will leave you running on the apu only. Basically, you got cucked by the "muh 2 graphics cards" meme.
>>
>>61009760

Ok I'll dig around for something like that, the game has been out for so long that I'm sure there's something out there

>>61009817

I'll keep that in mind, thanks! DESU I'm still kicking myself for not waiting for Ryzen but I needed a laptop ASAP
