    How much individual memory do my Graphics card have?
    « on: November 09, 2016, 09:43:48 PM »
    Hi
    I'm trying to figure out how much memory my GPU's have.
    I have 970m Sli set up.
    I can't work out if I have two 6GB cards or two 3GB cards.
    Cpuz says memory available 6gb, then it says the same when I select the other card,
    But I was told that even though I select different cards, the ram is added up for both cards even when displaying the info for just one.
    So they both say 6gb individually, but that's because it is adding up the ram of both cards.

    So..
    Just how much gpu ram do I actually have per card!?

    Thanks

      3G.
      Are you sure?
      Why does it say 6gb twice?
      Also the seller replied to me and said they are 6gb cards.

      970m is a laptop GPU chip...

      I cannot find a 970 that comes with 6G...

      6GB. CPU-Z shows the amount of Video Memory available to the system, Which will be the amount of VRAM on a single card. The total is not combined.

      In SLI mode, each graphics card uses its own frame buffer memory to render a 3D application. The operating system will report a graphics card frame buffer memory size that is found on a single graphics board.
