I have 16 GB of ram and a GTX 760 and it says 2GB of ram is being used to add to my cards VRAM. How do I increase/Decrease this?
 
Solution
That's adding the shared amount. It's not taking it from ram. That shared amount can still be used as system ram. You can't change it.

It isn't being taken from the 16GB. 2GB is on the card itself. There is no way to increase/decrease. Want more GPU memory, buy a newer GPU. Most newer cards are coming with 3-8GB ram.

http://prntscr.com/5rgkik What I mean is that the system is taking 2GB out of my 16GB of ram to add to my already 2GB of video ram to make it 4GB of VRAM. How do I increase/Decrease this?

Yeah, that's a new one for me. Curious to see what's going on.
