Hi,
I just had a GeforceGTX295 videocard installed in my computer, the problem is that the card has 1792mb of memory but wherever I check how much memory it has, in either the Device manager or the Nvidia Desktop manager, it gives the cards memory as 896mb.
The card has 2 GPU's and may be splitting the memory between the2 GPU's, but since I have the card set to run both GPU's together, I would expect the card to show that its got the full 1792mb of memory, not half, or half per GPU.
Previosly I was running 2 cards in SLi and even though they had seperate memory for each card, it still showed the memory as the one number with both cards memory added together.
Can Anyone with this card explain why it only shows half the advertised memory, and if its actually only running on the 896mb or is it actually getting the full 1792mb to use at any one time.
thanks for any help,
I could really do with it.
