As mentioned in tittle , the problem is that my laptop has 2 GPU's , one that is amd a4 3305m APU with HD graphics (that are HD 6480G) ,and the PCIe controller or whatever its called , picks up the 2nd GPU , that is the HD 7450m (wich has 1GB DDR3 Dedicated memory) .
So the problem here is , when i check GTA5 For example it says 500mb video memory ( wich is most likely the APU's memory that it uses from the RAM , becouse it takes 500mb off my 4gb ram , says i have 4gb and 3,5gb usable) , but the problem is , even if i do have enabled "use high preformance graphics" in the controll center , it still says i have only 500mb , wich it clearly uses from the APU's graphics . And why isnt the secondary gpu's graphics beeing used , it has higher clock + more memory (the weird part is that it says that it is beeing used, with all its 750 core speed , while the APU's graphics has 600 , so technicly it uses it , but doesnt use......its own memory ? How does that work , here is a screenshot of what HWi monitor showed me

So i though that it might be that it doesnt have a dedicated gpu , but yet , my PC screams to me that one of my softwhere isnt installed , and when i look up the hardware id , i get drivers for this particilurar device

Im planning to do a RAM upgrade , since its bottnecking my cpu , becouse its only 4gb and if the GPU doesnt use its 1gb memory , than i dont have a choice but to do so .....Wich is confusing becouse this is what i get from windows expiriance score

It apears to say i do have a dedicated memory , but still incoret ?
So the last thing i am alos getting is this (it says there is a primery adapter (AMD APU's) and a linked adapter wich you can see is in the screenshot )

I have tried alot of drivers offical (non ofical) and with no luck
myb it can be related to that im using windows 7 ? And when i enable the crosfire i get a amount of 2,5 gb's video memory wich is quite interesting ... but as we know crosfire slows down the preformance and it is unplayable . (tryed on my fav. games)
Im afraid that i cant afford a newer computer , and can only upgrade ram for now....any help on my situation would be apriciated . CPU-z also says that i do have a dedicated gpu with 1gb ,and it isnt used
