When i go to Apple->About This Mac->More Info->System Report->HardWare->Graphics/Displays.
I get this two things:

AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1GB Ram.
Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB

Does it mean i have a total of 1.5 gb ram in graphics card

AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1GB Ram. -> this is my graphic card right?

Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB -> and this is internal built in graphic card right?

correct me if wrong plz.

Sadly you do not have a 1.5Gb graphics card.

The on board Intel HD graphics is used when you are just browsing and so on because it has very low power consumption. As soon as you decide to play something like Eve, the MacBook switches over to the more powerful 6770M instead.

Never forget the M on the end. It is still a mobile, low power laptop card and will never compare that favourably against a full desktop card from the same series.
