[SOLVED] Graphic card specs are wrng?

August 8th, 2016

I bought a GTX GeForce 260 with 896MB Video RAM. I checked if I could play Crysis on srtest.com. The site says I have 366MB of RAM. Whats WRONG?
Answer #1
run “dxdiag” and see what that shows
you try installing crysis ?
Answer #2
Screw what websites tell you.
Use this
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/
Answer #3
yeah, check it with gpuz, those sites can be very wrong.
Answer #4
Ok. GPU-Z is much better, but just to make sure. Are the specs correct?

Answer #5
Specs is correct!There is no problems!Enjoy!
Answer #6
Are you sure it’s not your system ram that is 366? Graphics and system have separate ram!
Answer #7
Are you sure it's not your system ram that is 366? Graphics and system have separate ram! Any sane person would know that a 200 series card and <512MB of RAM are leagues apart from each other. No way would someone combine the two.
Answer #8
Yes but the website might…What site is it btw?
EDIT: Sorry, i’m blind lol
Answer #9
looks good to me
specs match what you thot you got ?
and you did get the “216” version which is the best (216 vertex shaders vs 192)
Answer #10
Yes, I did get the 216 version. I am positive the site says 366 MB of Video Ram. I have 8 gigs of system RAM. Here is the site’s results.

Answer #11

agree with this
think you might have to get an older card w/GDDR2 to get the web site to see it all those sites are for low end cards, so your probably the 1st one to check a 260 what duz dxdiag tell you ?
Answer #12
I ran dxdiag but what info do you want me to post?
Answer #13
Display tab -> approx. total memory
Answer #14
Nothing now, your video card is all good. The website just screwed up. But they probably wanted to see something like this. Image
Or you could’ve saved it as a txt file and copypasted it to here.
Answer #15
the display tab has your video card memory info
Answer #16
If you have Vista dxdiag would probably show you something more than 896MB as Vista and above will share video memory with the ram
Answer #17
Well. There is a problem here. It says 366 MB of RAM! WHAT IS THE PROBLEM???

Answer #18
now that’s weird
what card, the exact make/model
your on vista SP1 ?
and i returnt to 182.50, because all the new drivers see only 366MB Ram on graphic card

I cant help ya, but I have the same problem
With new drivers my GTX 260 is only shown as 366 mb
You said 182 was fine? I'm going to try those now
http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t98464.html
maybe the 182 drivers are what you need
googled “gtx 260 366mb ram” to find that stuff
Answer #19
Yes. I do have SP1 on Vista 64 bit-Ultimate. All the information you need is in this link below.

Answer #20
you try the 182 drivers ?
Answer #21
Check for BIOS update for that card. And stay away from Windows based update progs. Use MSDOS boot version to flash bios.
Answer #22
One Problem. I can’t find the 182 drivers anywhere!
Answer #23
under the “Beta and Archived Drivers”
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
or
at guru3d dot com
Answer #24
Do i have to uninstall the previous drives (IF i do, how do you do it?) or Just install it?
EDIT: NVM, solved
Answer #25
so it’s reading right now ?
bad drivers huh ?
Answer #26
Yea. The new beta drivers improve performance but as a result, kills your Video RAM.
