Gtx 970 utilizing half VRAM

[Wertomis]

I have a 2016 EVGA Gtx 970 that i use for playing games like Warzone.
Ever since i first started it, it indicates that my gpu can only use half of its VRAM, like shown below:

But after watching a benchmark of the same game and same gpu, i realized that his game allowed it to push further:

I've got a Ryzen 7 3700x and 16 gb of ram so they shouldn't be the problem.
Anyone knows the reason of this behavior?

* 3.5GB Keep that in mind also.

Yeah, you don't really want to access that last 512MB VRAM on the 970.

Driver updates have done a pretty damn good job at keeping the 3.5GB issue at bay. Plenty of games will allocate up to 4GB without much drama.
