Hey everyone.

When I hopped over to systemrequirementslab.com I check my specs and it showed me this:

Processor AMD A10-5750M APU with Radeon (tm) HD Graphics
Speed 2.5 GHz (overclocked to 3.4ghz)
Quad Core


Video Card 1 AMD Radeon(TM) HD8970M (Linked Adapter)
Chipset Radeon HD 8970M
Dedicated Memory 2048 MB
Total Memory 2048 MB

Video Card 2 AMD Radeon HD 8650G (Primary Adapter)
Chipset AMD Radeon HD 8650G
Dedicated Memory 2.6 GB
Total Memory 4.0 GB
RAM 15 GB

However, when I go over to AMD Catalyst Control Center, I see that in the 'AMD Radeon HD 8650G' information, that it only has 768mb of VRAM on it while the AMD Radeon(TM) HD8970M has 2048mb of VRAM .

So when I play games like Grand Theft Auto V, I only have 768mb of VRAM to use because it uses the Display Adapter with the lowest Dedicated Graphics.

Is there anyway of making my Linked Adapter my Primary Adapter?

Thanks.
