So i Bought this Gtx 1050 ti 4gb stormx
But its only telling 680 Aprx Total memory if i run Dxdiag .. Help please ..
Did i bought a Fake one ? ..

I Tried running it on GPUz but is says 4GB .. What is Happening ? Did i get the wrong drivers?

But a 2GB card won't use 2GB of address space. It's not a 1:1 mapping is what I was trying to say. If it was, he wouldn't have any ram at all. It would all be mapped to the GPU and he'd have none for anything else. Bug.

Depends on how much system ram he has surely?

Either way, its a pointless argument. He needs 64 bit windows for it to work correctly.

This is why I said it's complicated. It seems I lied when I said I was only going to mention this once, and now we've gone off track from the question. If the OP could put up working links again that would be awesome. According to you Rob he should have ZERO ram. 32bit windows can only address 4GBs of space, and that 4GB card would take up 100% of the address space if things worked the way you think it does. But the reported problem wasn't "I have no ram", but "DX report tool says I have a 680MB GPU" That's a bug in the report tool, not a 32bit address space issue.

He needs 64 bit windows for it to work correctly.

Again, it's working for the OP but he's seeing numbers he's not sure of. It DOES work. Let me try another example.

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/markrussinovich/2008/07/21/pushing-the-limits-of-windows-physical-memory/

I purchased one from a boutique gaming rig company that came with 4GB of RAM and two 1GB video cards. I hadn’t specified the OS version and assumed that they’d put 64-bit Vista on it, but it came with the 32-bit version and as a result only 2.2GB of the memory was accessible by Windows.

According to the way you think, he should have <2GBs usable. Two 1GB GPUs needing 1GB each, plus more for the other system devices. Yet he has 2.2GB usable!

Device Manager reveals that 512MB of the over 2GB hole is for the video cards (256MB each)

Again, as I said in my first post, not all of the Vram is mapped in windows. Cards need lots of Vram to do things like AA and other post processing effects. Windows couldn't care less about such things. It does need to map some space so it can run the GPU, but it doesn't map on a 1:1 basis. And because we are messing up the OP thread I'm moving on from this discussion. We are so going off topic.

OP, you said GPUZ reports 4GB, I'd trust it over the DX report tool.

Edited to fix a quote.

So whats the Conclusion ? is there a problem in my Graphics Card or I really just need to upgrade my CPU and Ram ? ..
Im so confused haha.. i maybe bought a defected Graphics Card since i bought it on an online Site

Thats the Details Linked ..
My past Card runs smoother than my 1050 ti And its only GT 730 ddr3 .. why is that ? .. on some games that is ..

Here you can see im playing Metal Gear Rising Revengeance High settings at High resolution ..
Why is it only using 60% ..

Why are you using a site where the links expire? Makes it really hard to look back and see info.

Usually when people have this issue it's because their CPU is holding them back. The GPU usage is only 60% because your CPU can't feed it data fast enough. You even call it "my trash CPU" when you posted the specs. (which is expired and I have no idea what you have.) You need to look at not only usage, but temps and speeds for the CPU and GPU. We need this info and as much as you can give us to help.

My thoughts. First, you are getting 52.9FPS. So going from the info provided it's not like it's the end of the world? Second, you have a very low end system for that GPU. An old S775 Celeron with only 2GBs of ram isn't going to provide you a good gaming experience. Third, you are using some odd just smaller than 1080 resolution. Your system as a whole isn't really setup for 1080 gaming. As a whole you need a system upgrade.

FYI I'm out of helping in this thread. I have a policy of not helping people who use a pirated OS. I find it hard to believe you have a legit version of win7 ultimate, which costs more than what a socket 775 system is worth.
