[SOLVED] Swapped my 1060 3GB for a 1060 6GB. Computer still thinks its got a 3GB!

How can I refresh my system so it thinks its got the 6GB?
I have reinstalled drivers, System Information still says its got 3GB version!

Maybe the card only has 3GB. What card is it and where did you get it? Post a link if possible.

It's my brother's. I got a 3gb, he got a 6gb. He's now for a 1080 and given me his 6gb.

OK. So it showed the full 6GB on his computer? Are you sure? What is the make/model of the card?

Did you use DDU to remove all traces of the old driver?

I feel quite the tit. I was testing two graphics cards my brother gave me, and it appears I ended up putting in my old 1060 3gb, not the new 1060 6gb

Good job. And thanks for being honest enough to admit the fact. We've all done dumb stuff. My list is long.

Haha, thanks for the laugh, and reminder that I did something similar once. I was going to copy files over from an old hard drive to a new hard drive in a new computer. I also had a similar looking new hard drive I was going to install as a second drive after copying the files. Somehow I got the two hard drives confused and put the new(blank) hard drive in the computer so I could copy the files. Of course there were no files on it and I freaked out thinking I lost all my data. Then I looked over at the 'new' hard drive laying there on my desk thinking "There's no way that's the old hard drive is it?".
