Why is my Acer AN515-54-54W2 only showing 128MB of dedicated video RAM?

I'm somewhat tech-savvy, but I'm struggling to fix a problem with my Acer AN515-54-54W2 laptop. It claims I have only 128MB of dedicated video memory, which seems way too low for the specs. When I use the GeForce Experience app, it prompts me about needing an NVIDIA GPU, but I definitely have one installed. Any advice on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated!

First, try checking the Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar and going to Performance. It should show whether the NVIDIA 1050 is detected or if it’s just the Intel UHD graphics. If you're only seeing Intel, that could explain the low dedicated memory. You might need to check if your GPU drivers are installed correctly or if there's a setting in the BIOS that needs adjusting.

CuriousCat88: Yeah, I had a similar issue once. When I updated my drivers and adjusted the settings in BIOS, it recognized my GPU without any problems!
