Windows 10: Dedicated video memory cant be seen in Task manager

HI , I have a Intel core i3 7th gen laptop which have intel hd graphics 620 . Before I can see my dedicated video memory in my task manager but now I cant see . I think this happened after updating my graphics driver . I even cant roll back my integrated gpu . What is the problem and how to fix it ??

:)

 

Dedicated, virtual and shared video memory

I have a little bit confusion about video memory types

I have Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M with Intel Core i7-6700HQ (Intel HD Graphics 530)

Specifications of my laptop suggest that I have 2 GB of memory on graphics chip. In task manager it says that I have 2 GB of dedicated GPU memory. This is clear for me.

In task manager it also says that I have 8 GB of shared GPU memory. I'm not really sure what that means, but I would guess it's the extra memory that my laptop can use in case it runs out of those 2 GB, probably taken from RAM and shared between Nvidia and
Intel chips. In task manager it says that for Intel HD Graphics 530 chip I only have those 8 GB of shared memory. No dedicated though.

So far it's clear to me.

When I check if I can run the game in System Requirements Lab's website it always shows that I have 4 GB of dedicated video memory

It also shows the same in Piriform Speccy (software that shows system stats of my device), more specifically it says Physical Memory 2047 MB, Virtual Memory 2048 MB. Another similar software CPU-Z only lists 2 GB of video memory.

In some games in graphics settings it shows how much video memory I have and how much of that will be used if I change graphics settings. Depending on game it might say that I have 2 or 4 GB.

I am usually monitoring performance in Task Manager while playing games. Some games, like Dirt Rally uses 100% of Nvidia chip plus between 40 and 50 % of Intel, while other games, like Middle Earth: Shadow Of Mordor only uses Nvidia

Can someone explain all this confusing memory listings? What is the difference between all those three and how much video memory do I actually have? Do I have 2, 4, 10 or 12 GB? And how can I use all of it so I can run games in higher quality?

Task Manager incorret video memory info

I just noticed this a while ago that task manager only displays 1GB of video memory on the R5 M230 when it in fact has 2GB.




For anyone who has similar setup as mine. Does this happen to you also?

I also want to know why there's no Render tab in dxdiag for the dedicated GPU.
