Is my 8800GTS 320mb or 640mb?

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

I purchased my 8800GTS graphics card believing it to be 320mb, evrything on the box and description said 320mb, but, when I run diagnostic programmes on my comp its reported at 640mb! Have they put the wrong card in the wrong box or am I reading things wrong? River Tuner reports 320-bit G80 (A2,96sp) with 640mb DDR3. I have pasted results from Riva Tuner below, please help.

Its BFG 8800GTS bought from PC World, came in all BFG packing even had the BFG T shirt in the box, BUT, it also comes with a programme called XpertVision which is a small overclocking thing that allows you to increase the mhz in both cores. When I contacted BFG about this they said I had not bought a BFG card but I had bought an XpertVision card. I visited their website and my 8800GTS dont look anything like theirs although they only seem to seel the 640mb card. I am as confused as hell!!

well then its 640mb, thats worth prob 60$ more than 320mb. Never heard of xpertvision though. Looks like sketchy, it seems you might have gotten a returned card that was repackaged into a BFG box and sold.??

You might want to check what kind of warranty you get with it since BFG said its not their card. Might be better to send it back and get another one just for the warranty? Does it look like the BFG cards on their website, pretty sure they all look like that with the BFG branding.?

Mispackaging definitely happens; I got a superclocked 8800 GTS in a regular 8800 GTS box. Getting extra memory sure seems like an extreme case though.

I guess as long as it's in our favor we should just count our blessings.

unless they then claim the warranty is invalid

I reigistered my card's SSN right away so I don't think they'd have a case if my GPU failed. I'm assuming you're thinking they could claim you're trying to return a different card.
