Hashcat is only using 2 GB of my video cards memory but has 8.
Is there a way to get Hashcat to use more memory?
Would I notice any improvements in Hashcats performance if it did?

The OpenCL runtime limits hashcat to use only 1/4 of the total memory, but for memory intense algorithms like scrypt it allocates four blocks to workaround that problem. For other algorithms it doesn't do any performance increase.
