Gpuz showing 0mb with my gtx680 4gb?

[clarizza]

I recently installed my new gtx 680 4gb from palit. Installed the latest driver and restarted the pc.

I noticed that gpu z is showing 0mb? on memory size.

i wonder what is else wrong?

by the way the gpu is installed on my rampage 3 extreme and its pcie 2.0 does it has something to do with it?

Check Windows "Performance Information and Tools" and click on the "view and print detailed performance..."


It's GPU-Z...

so it means 5gb of ram were used as vram? so now i only have 7gb? since the 5gb is used as vram?

No, it says 4096mb of "dedicated graphics memory" which is the VRAM on the GPU. The remaining is shared system memory.

Mine:

Nothing wrong, GPU-Z is bugged and doesn't read right.

is it alright to share that large amount of ram for your shared vram? i mean is automatically set? cause this will reduce the # of ram right? or im just confusing myself and just ignore it?

Ignore it. Its SHARED ram. Its still available for your system to use. Windows just automatically shares a set percentage of the installed memory to support the GPU. It only gets used if it needs it

great you guys rock hope gpuz have an update

This... you're putting yourself through undue hardship by fretting over it. Don't... trust me, it's fine. You'll never touch that shared system memory since the 680 has plenty of VRAM. The shared memory just addressed in case you ever needed it (which you won't).

And you didn't even ask why it was reporting PciE 2.0 x16 @ x161.1 speed....lol. That's normal too...just power-saving.
