Radeon 4870x2 Problem two cores!
Good day citizens! I want to share my observations. Recently purchased a new PC with a video card radeon 4870x2 but when you install to see current gig of video memory. As you can get to see two gig ? Or here the analogy with the processor ?maybe you bought an x2 with a gig of memory? and not two? look at the warranty card
In what sense the system determines vidyuhi similar processor ie in the device Manager shows the two cores 1 gig. And the application sees the current one gig. The most banal GTA 4 in the options graphics settings indicates that video memory 1017 MB.
All right,as defined by the memory of the card in one desktop 1024МЬ, not 2048МЬ,and the memory when using it, does not stack.
About Gta separate issue,it uses one core
even if he uses 2 kernels - that usually will be using only one memory, ie 1гиг. There's a lot of its problems and pitfalls.
Briefly - each core on the set of memory
In SLI/Crossfire the memory of different GPUs are not summarized because data is duplicated for each GPU separately. Real apps can access the memory of this card is equal to 1024 MB.
The meaning is great and,briefly,applications are already using both GPUs,including games.different features tipo physX on nvidia

Every kernel uses its own memory , when you consider that no game even at 1920*1200 does not use the whole gig of video memory , nothing to worry about. To map properly in a games , driver Catalyst A. I set to standard or Advanced position.

with games on the old card 8800 gtx 768 mb was not a problem although about Giga disagree again the same GTA 4 asks for more gig for maximum speed and apparently maybe because of the wood roofing felts still something (yet did not understand) if you remove the limit and to exceed the maximum amount of video memory kicks game Yes so knocks that you have to reinstall. on the 8800, this problem is absent
GTA do not understand the game !!! Another gtx260, e8400, 4 gb ram and sends them to the max at a resolution of 1680:1050 5-12 fps !!! I have a hd4850, q6600 3.0 Ggh, 4 gb ram at max at a resolution of 1680:1050 gives 14-30 fps !!! So if I'm not mistaken 260 needs to hurry to be ??? because печ260 costs almost 3 times more expensive than the hd4850 !!!
I'm now at 1400:1050 everything on max except render which allows the current 63% to put down gives 32-44 fps
medved2003 gives 32-44 fps
Damn, also wanted to take Radeon 4870x2 !!! But sit through a fucking world crisis has shattered all my hopes !!! fucking world crisis his mother !!!

well, that and people like me who during the crisis gather their cars for 70 thousand call the bourgeois and want to regulacije :-)

GTA really uses a maximum of 512MB of memory! He can check any monitoring. And if razryvy such a ***it do it pritenzii to them. (by the way easy to unlock this stuff and all the max settings will be available on any map).
And generally my advice - stop sweating about the amount of video memory. Many people do not know anything about hardware only talking about the quantity of VRAM and I think that is the main thing talking about greatness of the graphics card. This is fundamentally wrong and stupid! And the sooner you understand the better.
About fps'er in the GTA - a very important percent. By the way what's your percent?? I hope I'm not the one in the config?? (because such Prots HD4870x2 and 70% will not show what is capable of).
medved2003
Yes M Schumacher right about the percent !!! Take Phenom II, the toys he is doing good shows !!!
M Schumacher by the way easy to unlock this stuff and all the max settings will be available on any map
I know but I'm saying if you remove the limit and to exceed the maximum amount of video memory kicks game Yes so knocks I have to reinstall
