I have a Sager NP-8268-S with an Intel 4710mq, Nvidia GTX 980m (with 8GB GDDR5 memory), and the rest I assume is somewhat irrelevant to the issue at hand. I purchased the computer with the knowledge that it has an 8GB graphics card, not its 4 GB counterpart. Whenever I use Nvidia Control Panel or CPU-Z I get a reading that the card is an 8 GB card. But the Can I Run it software and Intel Extreme Tuning Utility claims that I only have 4 GB of vRAM. I am wondering if there is a reason for this and if my computer is actually only able to utilize half of its vRAM. If so, why? Thanks!
