my Geforce GTX 750 ti 2GB graphics card states that there is a total available graphics memeory of 4096 MB but the card is only using 2048 MB, of course my edition is only 2048 MB of vRAM but why is there 4GBs of potential graphics memeory not used? I do not understand why I cannot use this extra 2GB for my gaming, considering the newest games require more than 2048 MB of vRAM, can someone shed any light on this and if there is a way of using this extra RAM
how can I utilise total available graphics memory?

I doubt the card is stating that, most likely its dxdiag, or display adapter properties in windows. The other 2gb is shared system memory and is much slower than the 2gb of dedicated memory, slow enough you don't want to have to use it, its like using the pagefile(hdd) as ram, it's slow as hell. The system will use it automatically.

The total includes shared system memory. That type of memory won't improve games performance anyhow.
If you want more for VRAM for games you have to buy a GPU that's got more than what your current one has.
Mine's got 4GB and I don't even do any gaming with it but I still wouldn't want anything less.
