amd radeon 530 512 mb of 2 gb

Greetings. There is a problem with the drivers of the amd radeon 530 discrete graphics card. Lenovo Ideapad 320-15ast laptop, A9-9420 processor, 8 gb RAM. In the task manager, a discrete graphics card displays 512 MB, as well as a graphics card integrated into the processor displays 512 MB. The MSI Afterburner or Aida64 monitoring programs do not even have the "gpu video memory" graph for amd radeon 530. 

I tried to download different drivers: from the amd official website, from the driver archives, from the manufacturer's official website (amd software versions 19.1.1, etc.). It's not working out. As it was 512 MB, it remains so. At the same time, in the amd software program (in msinfo32, in parentheses for some reason "(212772781)"), 2 GB of video memory is written in the information about the amd radeon 530 video card.

I tried to install windows 8, there is no compatibility at all. Before that, I tried to install on the latest version of windows 10 22h2, and after windows 8 I tried to install the old version of windows 10 1809. But the problem remains here.

There is nothing else left to write here) Suddenly, who knows the solution to this problem or has encountered such a thing and decided.

If I understand your complaint, you are stating that Windows Task Manager and other 3rd party software utilities are not displaying the correct amount of dedicated graphics memory (which for the Radeon 530 should be 2GB) but are instead displaying the 512MB reserved system memory of the A9-9420.

I suspect there is nothing wrong with the hardware or drivers but simply a case of software not detecting the hardware correctly. Have you tried GPU-Z?

Also recommend you download the drivers from the manufacturer.

I told you that I tried to install drivers from the manufacturer. All the information is in the screenshots, only windows 10 itself does not see all 2 GB, but only 512 MB
