Game not recognising graphics card
hi, I got a new laptop last week and I managed to get it to recognise the graphics card (NVIDIA MX350). However the resolution changed when I logged on yesterday so I checked the DeviceConfig file an...

An MX350 has 2 GB of VRAM, give or take a few MB. But setting the texture memory to 1024 is more than enough to both rate your card's memory as uber and to allow the game to use all the VRAM it can, which is 800 MB. Inputting a higher value for texture memory won't make a difference in performance.
Among the places to check your VRAM is in a dxdiag: it's listed a few lines below the name of the card. You'd want the dedicated memory value, not shared. This is from your dxdiag:
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce MX350
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: GeForce MX350
DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC
Device Type: Render-Only Device
Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1C96&SUBSYS_8756103C&REV_A1
Device Status: 0180200A
Device Problem Code: No Problem
Driver Problem Code: Unknown
Display Memory: 5961 MB
Dedicated Memory: 1979 MB
Shared Memory: 3981 MB
I think you should be able to find it in Display Settings as well, but maybe your laptop only displays the specs for the card it's currently using. I don't have a dual-card setup, so I can't check myself.
