Shouldn't it be 6144?

I've got a GTX 1060 6GB graphics card and earlier today I installed 16GB RAM (I previously had 12GB) which is recognized and seems to be working fine, but when I check Dedicated Video Memory it says: 2048 MB.
I'm sure my graphics card was working properly before I installed the RAM.
 
Solution
ok, do one little thing... download either speccy or HWInfo and check the video card system information on these softwares.
Now, i want to suggest another thing, people sometimes make little mistakes like plugging the display cable to the motherboard (just saying, dont get me wrong but its worth mentioning)
And the 2GB video card memory that is showing is of the intel graphics.

I right click on desktop, screen resolution, advanced settings.

If I don't respond it's because there's a thunderstorm and my connection is playing up.
