What is Total Available Graphics memory??And can i use it?

[aikor]

I went to my DXDIAG and saw Total Available graphics memory as 4045mb i think

But then i went to nvidia control panel and saw dedicated VRAM as 2054mb(im not sure of the exact value)

My question what does total available graphics mean??

Does tht mean i can use 4gb?

If your CPU has an integrated GPU DXDIAG may have detected the memory from that as well (iGPUs use part of the RAM as VRAM and usually have a max shared memory of 2GB which would be in line with this). What CPU do you have?

AMD FX 8300

Alright that's weird. The FX series don't have any integrated GPU. What graphics card do you have?
