750MB of VRAM in a 1GB VRAM Graphics card?

08-14-2011, 08:27 PM

I keep going on systemrequirementslab.com and every game I test, I pass all recommended specs except for my graphics card's video ram. I have a Radeon HD 6850 Powercolor graphics card, which I know has 1GB of VRAM, but the site keeps telling me I have only 751.9 VRAM.

Before I got the new gfx card, I did have some crappy onboard integrated ATI graphics. I've been told this has something to do with why the site could be reading my graphics card as having less VRAM than it actually does.

How do I fix this problem?
