295GTX 384 Shaders?!

Jamborhgini313 · Mar 16, 2010, 11:23 PM

Got a new Nvidia 295GTX. The 1st GPU shows 384 Shaders, 4GB of memory with GDDR4...but when I select the 2nd one, it shows the regular 275GTX Specs.

Um... How are we suppose to see your pic while it is still on your PC....

You need to upload it to an image hosting service.

Edit: OK, is it a second hand card or something?
Looks like a messed up bios.

Are you using an Administrator account?

Looks like you're using a regular account with no direct access to hardware.

The card is just a plain OEM Nvidia card. How do I fix bios?

I just restarted my PC and it still shows same thing. I fired up a game and it works fine but this is just anoying!

It's most likely a GPU-Z problem.

Try an app such as Everest or MSI Afterburner, and/or get your hands on GPU-Z 038. See what they say.
