msi GTX 1070 gaming x question?

[SpAwNtoHell]

Hello guys, i bought the above card do to lack of stocks as i could not grab the 1080 i want but here is a question? i used Unigine Heaven Benchmark 4.0 to test my system to see how it performs in terms of noise performance and temperatures and after runing it multiple times something got my attention... the final screen with the benchmark score. Why it states:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 10.18.13.6839 (4095MB) x1

is this a heaven bug not reporting correct the memory?

I know is not relevant, but still system configuration:

Asus PRO GAMING Z170I Mini ITX Motherboard
Intel Core i5 6600K (runing at standard speed)
Raijintek Themis Direct Contact CPU Cooler
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) 2400MHz DDR4 Memory-Black
256GB Samsung SM951 M.2 PCIe NVMe High Performance SSD
760W Corsair AXi Series 80PLUS Platinum Modular Digital Power Supply
all in Fractal Design Core 500 Cube
24" AOC 144Hz /1Ms Full HD Gaming Monitor /w G-SYNC - G2460PG

I tried both gaming default msi bios and oc one and still is reported like that. the scored achieved was 2367 in unigine with the default oc bios. Gpu z reports 8GB, i looked on you tube and also gtx1080 or others show the same?! my other cards in the other systems in the house gtx 970 gtx 960 gtx 780 report the corect value in both gpu z and unigine...

I have seen this with Unigine before, I believe its Heaven's issue and not anything wrong with your card or driver.

Looking on the internet all scores shown with a card with VRAM exceeding 4GB show 4GB.

well what does another monitoring program show ?? heaven is getting old so I could just be its compatibility issue bug with these newer card

It's a flaw in teh software as they havent updated it to read all teh new cards properly. No need to worry. you card has and uses 8 gigs of ram.
At some point they will update Unigine Heaven aswell.
The newest version of GPU-Z is alo tmore reliable as it gets updater pretty fast.

4gb maybe all the programs can see ?? you see valley is the same ???

I guess its time for heaven 5.0 and valley 2.0 with 6gb support

uhh you guys are all wrong there is no glitch or something it is all about new technology gddr5 means double the memory so that 4k memory is actually 8k no need to worry . btw my score was 2663 in gaming app silent mode , even the gpu clock was 2097 in silent mode so I think your score is not normal, idk
