dxdiag is wrong?

It says i have 8142 gbs of vram when i only have 2! Also gta iv says i have 3990 when im suppose 2 have 2! halp.

It's including shadow RAM from the rest of system. Check hardware reserved memory.

 

[ToOp4U1024]

Im talking about GPU ram sorry

 

[CountMike]

That's wgat I'm talking about too, There's certain amount of system RAM that gets reserved to ad to VRAM if needed (shadow RAM) which Dxdiag includes in all of memory available to graphic sub system.

 

[ToOp4U1024]

So they take my graphics ram and use it for the os?

 

[CountMike]

No, OS takes some RAM to ad to graphic sub system together with VRAM.

 

[ToOp4U1024]

So they combine it together?

 

[CountMike]

Yes, look at your memory map, part of it will show as "Hardware reserved".
