Discrete GPU is not listed in Graphics settings, Dedicated memory is incorrect in Task Manager, DXDIAG, and games

[RamySalama]

Hello Lenovo community, I've recently purchased a Lenovo Ideapad130 laptop with AMD APU A6-9225 it comes with R4 Graphics, and it has a discrete GPU: AMD Radeon 530 2GB.


I have an issue with Dedicated GPU memory it is incorrect in Task Manager, and games. the amount shown is only 512MB which is related to R4 graphics, Even that application settings were reviewed and i made sure that I selected High performance.



Also in DXDIAG it shows only 512MB. this means for some reason my system is not using its full capacity and limited to almost 1/4 of the graphics memory?




When I Used Windows 10 Build 1803 and 1809 Settings> Display Settings> Graphics Settings. (Screenshot attached) Windows Sees only the R4 graphics as both Power savings and High performance GPU. certainly that's not correct, it should be 2 different GPUs here, Could this be causing this issue ?




I'm using the latest recommended OEM drivers, I tried multiple versions and used fresh installed windows after my research attempts didn't work.


The only place that shows correct adapter information is Radeon Settings and msinfo32





Please advise. Many thank
