Getting wrong GPU memory readings.

[Kentuckytech]

I recently upgraded to a 980ti, and while it's been running great, some programs I use have been showing incorrect VRAM amounts. I have a warranty and 4 year full protection plan with the card so I'm not at all worried if something's wrong, but I want to make sure there's an actual issue before I RMA it. The card is, of course, a 6gb card.

- Speccy tells me my memory size is 2048.
- CPUID tells me my memory size is 4095.
- An in-game ENB program tells me my memory size is 4096.
- GPU-Z tells me my memory size is 6144 (accurate).
- NVidia Control Panel also tells me my memory size is 6144.

So is there a problem? Is the card too new for some of the programs to register, or do I have a legitimate issue with memory detection and/or usage?

I hear about Speccy especially reporting the wrong VRAM value more often. I think it is the 3rd party applications reading the wrong VRAM values and that there is no actual issue.

You can do video memory stress tests or simply 3D mark tests to spot any faults in video memory in addition to my previous post.

Thanks, will do that!
