Dedicated graphics Adapter Ram very low

So, I was scrolling down my system information page, and I came across this part that told me the info on my Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 and my Intel(R) UHD Graphics, and I found a number that is quite strange.

My Dedicated Graphics (Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060) adapter RAM was super low. (0.001 Gigs), but my graphics card has 6gbs of dedicated ram.

On the other hand, my Integrated Graphics (Intel(R) UHD Graphics) had quite a bit for its adapter RAM (1 gig), yet my integrated graphics doesn't have any dedicated ram at all.

Why is this? Should I change it?

My system stats:

  • Windows 10 home
  • Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, 2592 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)
  • Installed Memory (RAM): 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)
  • System type: 64-Bit Operating System, x64-based processor
  • Dedicated graphics: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 (6 Gigabytes dedicated RAM)

(Also, my PC is a laptop)

  • 2x 5000 RPM fans
  • Small water cooling system

Thanks! Please help!

    This RAM information you see on this information page is the shared memory that the graphics card is using (shares your RAM memory for processing video). Your graphics card memory is VRAM and shared memory usage is low because it doesn't need it.

    Hi ,

    I'm Rodrigo, Independent Advisor and I will help you.

    Open your task manager, go to "Performance" tab and see the if information about you graphics card is correct there. If it is ok there's no problem.

    Is good to remember to always keep your graphics card updated, you can do that via Nvidia website or via GeForce experience app, if you have it installed on your computer.

    To be sure, type dxdiag in your start menu and open it. In one of the Display tabs, you will see your graphics card information. If it's correct there, there's nothing wrong

    So there's no problem. It's only a bug in this information page you accessed. Windows is detecting your graphics card's video memory correctly.

    The GPU looks fine on the task manager page 

    Also I updated all my drivers recently via the avast driver updater, but I can check again
