A lot more VRAM on single GPU

[Evan7899]

I don't know if this is windows 10 or has been like this for a while but I looked at my advanced display settings it said I have 2GB video memory, 4GB shared system memory, and 6GB total graphics memory. I have 8GB RAM, 4GB free. Does this mean I have 6GB of VRAM because I am so confused.

Laptop?

Sounds like there is 2Gb of physical VRAM, supplemented by sharing 4Gb of system ram for a total of 6.

No, desktop. I have a 760 2GB model, and 8GB of ddr3 1600 hyperX ram

Yup. 2Gb VRAM and it's borrowing up to 4Gb of your 8Gb of ram.
