4gb Radeon is showing as only 512mb. It is clearly working much better than that wd suggest bc my son has had no complaints trying to run his Steam games. How can I raise the amount of memory the gpu is using and does it really matter that it only registers as 512mb?

Do you actually have a dedicated GPU? And is the monitor connected to the GPU's outputs as opposed to the motherboard's?
