The attached picture shows what I'm talking about. Basically, Control Panel says I have 4GB of GPU sapce, and yes this is a Laptop. Then Game Bar says I have 0.1GB of GPU memory.

Look at on LTT forum.png

Is the system preforming for you as you want it to? If so, don't lose sleep over this

I wouldn't worry about it - I don't know exactly how Game Bar measures VRAM capacity, but since you're using integrated graphics, that might have an impact since it's strictly shared memory that the IGP receives. You might be able to use another program like CPU-Z to validate it. But more than likely, the 3.9GB value is correct.

Use GPU-Z to monitor the usage of your integrated graphics.

Also, not all games will use 100% if there's no need to.
