GTX 780. Do they all use Hynix memory?

Vitric9 · Jun 13, 2014

I am aware of SAmsung vs Hynix threads but I had to RMA my GTX 770 and then sell it as I ended getting a EVGA GTX 780 SC/ACX which unlike the 770 uses Hynix memory. I know about the RAM shortage last year and the fire in the Hynix factory so some GTX 780 got another type all together. but I do notice that the GTX 770 2GB running at 7010MHz seemed to have better Memory usage. easy to tell in a gam like Borderlands where the usage on the 770 was never over 600MB on the 780 it is around 600-700MB. feedback please

Why do you want to know what brand vram they use?

Generally the only thing that the VRAM brand affects is overclocking and how much voltage you need to get to a given frequency (and heat from that). It should not affect usage.

Are you sure the settings are exactly the same?

I was just saying that the GTX 770 2GB memory bandwidth is under rated. I did not OC my GTX 770 and it seems to me that the GTX 780 while using 3GB 6000MHz on a wider bus, 384bit, has higher Memory usage in game. I have not tested every game yet. but Borderlands , Borderlands 2 BFBC2,all use more VRAM with the 780 so far. I thought maybe Samsung does make faster memory. IDK. I hope this changes as the resolutions increase past 1080p

Memory usage and memory bandwidth/speed are completely unrelated.

Also, different memory running at the same speeds should perform identically.
