Hello everyone,
First of all here's my build:

I wan't having problems with my new computer, but then two weeks later (now) I found out that my Gigabyte G1 Gaming 980ti only had 3 GB of VRAM. I am sure it has 6 GB, but then why does it say everywhere I look (pictures included) that I have only 3 GB?

Mine also shows 3gb/4gb of ram in some programs. But using OpenHardwareMonitor it will show me using ~40% of the vram when afterburning shows 2.5gb being used (afterburner shows a max of 3gb - if you look in settings you can change this (not at home so can't walk you threw it right now)) .
