VRAM acting up

[Vihaan123]

Hey all so my Vram increased in games out of the blue, it used to be 2 GB but now in Red Dead Redemption 2 it shows 6 GB and in Resident evil village it shows 8 GB. My PC has been acting weird since the past 2 days (weird as in has become incredibly slow). I ran a full scan but nothing. My ram usage is high when i use opera (which I guess is normal) and sometimes CPU usage also becomes high but only when I am playing games. I want my VRAM to be back to 2 GB
My PC configuration:
Athlon 3000g
16 GB (8x2) corsair LPX vengeance
MSI A320M A PRO MAX
1tb seagate barracuda

it cannot physically be that muc h since your IGpu has either 1 or 2gb dedicated. so it is likely a bug in the software you use to measure this.
