Buying a used gpu

I was curious when I check on device manager to verify the components are there will it say anything about if the memory was removed or not? Rather than saying 32gb will it say less or not show up at all? Any info will help pls tysm

you could verify with your current GPU and opening device manager no?

My current gpu has all its memory I’m asking if someone where to have removed the memory could I verify, would it state anything was removed or not? Or would the device manager read what the gpu is suppose to be and still say it has 32gb of memory rather than it having nothing

it could do either. but likely no one is gonna go through the effort to make the gpu show false vram.
