So I wanted to play Max Payne 3 on PC since I bought it a while ago but never got around to playing it.
And it's only detecting 3GB of VRAM and not 8GB as my card has.
This is a problem cos I want to play it using VSR at 4K since it's an older game and my Vega has the horsepower to do it.
Is there any way to fix this issue?
Thanks.

there was a change with GTA4 previously, where it didn't fully utilize the available vram. Add this to your Steam launch settings and check if it resolves the issue.
-availablevidmem 8000
(PS: try playing at the maximum difficulty, the game seems too simple)

I don't have ownership on Steam. I purchased the retail version from Social Club.

You're likely only concerned about the appearance of the VRAM measurement, not its actual impact on performance. Even if you can't resolve the issue or encounter another game with incorrect VRAM values (such as the Resident Evil 2 Remake example), you can simply disregard it.
