It's likely only detecting how much VRAM you have free instead of how much you actually have.

Download GPU-Z.

Click on the sensor tab and the Memory Usage will roughly be the difference between 1024MB and 751.4MB.

I wouldn't worry about it tbh prolly just a small issue on their servers side most likely, you can check how much graphics ram your card has available in Afterburner, Gpu-z :)

Why do you need to free up more?

It's using what it's using to display your desktop.

When you play a game it won't need to display your desktop so all the VRAM will be available for the game.
 
I just ran it and the memory usage is 47mb Dedicated,Dynamic is 36mb. does this mean I will need to run a full game to see how much is using. cos im the desktop now obviously :)
