Package: nvidia-driver

I own a Clevo W255EG with an integrated GT 645M. Both nvidia-settings
and nvidia-smi report 1GB as the total amount of graphics memory
available. But there is at least 3x1GB graphical memory chips soldered
on the laptop motherboard, which is consistent with amount of graphics
memory reported on other laptops using this graphic card.
For Linux stuff it's very common to create a new thread on the forum:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/linux/
I would encourage you to do so and add all details regarding your
hardware there. If you then report back the link to the thread, I can
add it to this bug metadata.
Also I found an interesting paragraph on the nvidia customer care website:
"However, if you have a notebook computer, you must typically get driver
updates directly from the manufacturer of your notebook. Notebook
graphics cards are highly specialized and the reference drivers provided
on the www.nvidia.com website may not work unless indicated"
So I suppose that the driver is somehow customized for laptop,
explaining maybe why I have less enabled memory than available. Sadly
it's unlikely that Clevo provides up-to-date linux driver for my laptop.
That would be very unusual, I've not seen such a problem before, but
anything can happen with proprietary drivers I suppose.
Is this still an issue with the latest driver (390.67) available in sid,
buster, and stretch-backports?
I'm sorry but I can't test the latest drivers I don't have that laptop
anymore.
