I’m new to linux and i have a laptop with AMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics. If i check my vram memory size in Windows 10 ( I have a dual boot with manjaro ) is 1024M which can be extended to 2048M in BIOS . If i check my vram size in manjaro by running lspci -vv its showing me the result

IDK what to do.
