SB2 15 inch: How much dedicated vram do our 1060's actually have?

MS claims an unqualified 6GB of vram. Running tests I'm getting a lot of conflicting results.

Speccy claims to only see 2gb.

Can I run it only sees 3GB.

Nvidia and DX12 check claim 6GB.

I would trust NVIDIA and DXDiag as they are more likely to be able to accurately assess the Dual GPU Setup...

I figured as much. Speccy in particular doesn't seem to be made with laptops in mind. I had a laptop that read 999C for processor temp, improper reading of RAM timing etc. Thanks for the reply.

I notice that Task Manager lists 6GB for the GTX 1060, along with providing a real-time memory use. I can't imagine it would be showing that information if it were inaccurate.
