That site says my 24GB M4 Pro has 8GB of VRAM. Browsers can't really detect system parameters. The Device Memory API 'anonymizes' the value returned to stop browser fingerprinting shenannigans. Interesting site, but you'll need to configure it manually for it to be accurate.

You have a whole 8 GB of VRAM? My 32 GB M1 Max has 8 GB of RAM and ~4 GB of VRAM according to this website.

You have 32GB of unified ram. It's not split between RAM and VRAM. The website cannot tell this using the browser's APIs.
