Hey BP, I'm glad you went down the 4GB route in the end.

On topic, have you tried monitoring your VRAM usage with MSI Afterburner? GPU-Z seems to have some issues tracking down VRAM usage.

Thanks. I totally missed that. I just downloaded the latest gpu-z. How come this fix wasn't incorporated?

Sounds like he wants to test the code a bit further...

Why it just adds more memory latency resulting in lower memory bandwidth and performance.

You obviously don't play Skyrim, I capped a 7970 3GB on 2560x1600, currently waiting for a 6GB version.

I only do this for Skyrim because I'm an addict of Bethesda titles
