Just a little bit of solid information about VRAM usage and PCI-E 3.0 bandwidth by Vega in the monitor section of the forum.


He is running at a resolution of 4320x2304, which is 60% more pixels than when using three 1080p monitors.

I would recommend checking the entire thread out as it's very interesting, although most of it is off topic.

I think you will find 4Gb is a MASSIVE exageration.

Regarding VRAM usage, I remember reading on Hardocp that they managed to see BF3 use 5GB (7970 CF so if they had a couple 4GB GTX680 they could show similar usage):

There is one interesting game to look at right now for video card memory usage, and that is Battlefield 3 multiplayer. There is a big difference between the VRAM usage in single player and multiplayer. When we cranked this game up in a 64 player server at the highest in-game settings we saw it get near to 5 GB of VRAM usage on Radeon HD 7970 at 4X AA at 5760x1200. This game seems certainly capable of maximizing VRAM usage on video cards in multiplayer in NV Surround or Eyefinity resolutions. It makes us really want to try out 4GB, or higher video cards. A couple of 4GB GTX 680 video cards are looking real interesting to us right now in this game, and from what rumors we have heard, Galaxy is very likely to make this happen for us.

I can see where your coming from, no pun intended, it must be glorious gaming with panoramic views. Puts me off when I've heard plenty of people who've had those setups and got sick of fiddling around when there is no native support and opted for a big 30-incher that always works.

The downside is I've barely had 10 mins to try it out. What with dead GPUs and stuff :(

It was an amazing 10 mins though. The problems when adding lots of technology to a system is that one tiny thing fails and the whole things crippled :(

What GPU do you have PeeDee? As i believe if you have 2 or even dual gpu then the memory is shown as double of what you are actually using. So in total you are using 1825.5MB VRAM.

Vram is shared, don't add the 2 together.

Gregster is correct.

2 2GB cards would still just be 2GB as the data is mirrored, in layman terms.

You sure? because as soon as it hits 2gb my performance drops by around 20fps, i know Vram is shared, but the counter is reading that 3.65 is used so i presume 2gb is used on board the cards and 1.65gb is used from my ram

if its true then Fair enough, learn something new every day.

AMD Memory counter is new with MSI afterburner anyway so could be wrong i suppose
