Batwing~SPARTA~ Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hi guys, so.. I was troubleshooting that issue with the Batman game, and came to my attention this weird thing: The tech support guy asked me to let him know how much Video memory I had from the Dxdiag info and it displays 748MB. His first objection was I didn t have enough video memory to run the game. Then I explained I am using a Radeon 6970 with 2GB ddr5 mem, he didn t know what I was talking about (well, I am talking with tech support over the phone, what I do expect??).. but my memory is 2GB and not 748MB. Do you know why I have this weird display? Do you have the same on your ystem if you call the dxdiag command? Please let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yep. I have a HD4870 with 1024mb of memory, yet Dxdiag shows it as 213mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hajimoto Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hey Batty - Common problem that is a MB manufacturer way of sharing system resources. In your BIOS there will be a technology call SPREAD SPECTRUM, I suggest that disable your PCI spread Spectrum. Also always double check using GPU-Z I am willing to bet that your VRAM amount will be correct. The incorrect DX numbers an be corrected by finding the culprit that is sharing resources and disable it. Just keep in mind that once the DMA channels and the game engine are in play in conjunction with your Nvidia drivers you will be getting the full use of your Nvidia card so I would not sweat it too much.

Hunter~SPARTA~ Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I get a similar result, Batwing. GPU-Z returns memory size of "2048 MB", but dxdiag reports "754 MB" on Display 1 and "754 MB" on Display 2. I have no explanation, but perhaps knowing you're not the only one will bring some peace of mind? Haha. I'm sure one of our great Spartan PC Technicians will have a well written explanation for us. - JHunter Edit: Haji beat me to the button. Told ya.

Batwing~SPARTA~ Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 That s good. I disabled that spreading thing an still displays the same weird amont. Howevr I run everything at max res and max details, so obviously that value is wrong Good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
