Sysinfo reports my Asus Strix Radeon RX 480 8GB as having 4096 MB of VRAM. This may or may not be card specific, or specific to running Windows 10 Professional build 14363.
Thanks, this is a known issue with the way I retrieve graphics card information from windows, it's limited to 4gb for whatever reason, so far I have been unable to find an alternative.
For now, you can go to Options -> Sysinfo -> select /sysinfo and/or /gfxinfo in the dropbox and change $gfxram manually to whatever you want.

Maybe either of these APIs will be usable for measuring vendor specific memory sizes using OpenGL for either NVidia or AMD? Not sure if your current API needs work for Intel.

I'll use this workaround for now.
I know there are other ways to get the correct memory, but they are not worth all the work and extra code just to get a number :>
It does seem to also be in the registry, which I will be looking into at some point, but hopefully the original API will be fixed to support > 4gb.
Getting it from registry works very well, added for next beta.
