uvmain Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 7800.. i'm guessing it's a 256meg card?it seems like vista has some kind of software GART useable over pci.. tho that's just a quick and crazy guess I'm using build 5538, and I have a 7900GT.. i just checked, and my advanced properties says exactly the same thing as yours from video memory..pci gart would be pretty cool, i'll benchmark some doom III ultra quality tests in a while, and see if i'm right about the texture allocation being bigger than the grfx physically has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croc Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 i noticed something very strange, look at the memory for my vid card...I have two 6800 ul's and get the exact mem report. So I think its a bug... And its reporting my ul's as gt's... No sli yet, either, even using the latest 96.33 Nvidia driver. I hope they don't go to rtm without fixing these 'minor' glitches.

croc Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 well dont you actually have 512mb of physical ram tho? or does it say you hafe 256mb physical and the rest is virtual?I actually SHOULD have 512 x 2 actual memory on my GPU's.I'm not quite sure how to interpret what's actually being reported. But the adapter is definitely the wrong model, and I seem to get the same report as all of the above... Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croc Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 yep it is 256mb, so im not alone here...Installed 3dmark05, and it reports cards correctly, so I have to conclude that it's a bug that needs to get fixed... along with SLI, XFire, etc. (3dmark ~5500 ish this release... Looking up!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
