Afterburner memory usage info accurate?

[eyetrip]

Up til last night had never bothered looking at mem usage.

When I finally added it to AB's on screen display, I saw that my settings were having it go over 2GB - around 2.2.

With adding 2x AA, this went up to about 2.6gb.

I had to drop shadows to high from ultra to get it just on 2GB, and while I didn't play long after, it felt like I was having fewer of the intermittent fps drops I would have.

So if this is accurate, it may explain why I can struggle to run AA on the game.

Have people found it to be accurate?

I'm presuming you are running at 2560 going by your sig.

AB adds both cards vram usage together so that would be 1.3gb each at the res your running.

Have you upped the memory timings too high and the vram is throttling and are your cards unlocked as you get better results IMO with a higher core and lower memory timings.

Are you using MSI:AB Beta 10???

If you are, there are others having problems with beta 10 including bad frame rates and the info about the card ingame not being correct.

Keep in mind, as you lower settings, memory or not, you'd expect better performance, higher minimums, better averages etc, etc. So if its a hard limit or if memory reading as accurate is very difficult to know from what you've said.
