That's strange? Got a screenshot or something showing that?
I have a GTX 750 ti SC (which I think is close to the 750M?) with 2 GB - I use it on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS box. nvidia-smi reports that only about 200 MB of the 2 GB is used for for the graphics sub-system (I have a dual-head setup, too).
Maybe the MBP uses more of the memory? I dunno (my MBP here has Intel unfortunately)...
I know that training models on it is much faster than using the quad-core AMD chip (can't remember which one it is - but nothing recent); still, I have hit up against the memory limits, and at that point batching or other methods are needed to get larger stuff thru it, at a penalty of speed.
I really need to drop something better in there...
