GTX 570 decreased memory?

Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Share

I've been playing GTA IV on my gtx 570 ever since I got it. When I go to the graphics settings, it usually tells me I have 1240MB of video memory. But recently, it changed to 1225MB. Is this a common problem? What has occurred?

P.S. I have updated to nvidia's latest beta driver (301), not sure if that's the case because I haven't checked right before.

Thanks

Same issue here on my GTX 470. It's more likely the drivers.

I'm using 301.42, I've noticed this memory drop in GTA 4 in the last few drivers aswell.

System information in NCP also reports 1279MB. I have also noticed a quite a big performance drop in GTA 4 aswell.

It seems that whenever the memory usage goes into the red it runs a bit poo even if there is enough memory, since evga precision reports only 1100mb being used.

BF3, Stalker COP with complete mod and The witcher 2 still use up to 1264MB.

So it's not really much of a big deal. Report it on Nvidia forums under Beta Driver Feedback. I'll go do the same.
