My RX 550 4GB is showing up as only 2GB both in games and in hardware detector apps, as well as in the AMD control panel. Is there a way for me to fix this?
 
Solution
When HDD prices were crazy a few years ago, people would purchase high capacity external HDDs. They would then take home, remove the actual HDD from the enclosure and replace with a smaller capacity HDD and return it.

When in the enclosure, it looked perfectly fine, with all the right visual indicators. It wasn't until actually checked (often by the next customer) that the fraud was detected.
