So over on the Ubi forum some guys moaning because his 5970 can't run W_D on high..

He has a Sapphire 2GB 5970 (dual GPU card)

So naturally each GPU gets 1Gb of ram right? 2x 1024Mb chips one used by each GPU...

Please help me, how do I explain it to this moron that only each GPU has access to 1GB of ram.

I swear some people should stick with there Xbone or PiS4er

I found this on a website.

Each 40nm GPU has access to a 1GB frame buffer bringing the grand total of memory on the card to 2.0 GB!

And this on another website:

The HD 5970 uses two Cypress chips mounted on a single board with 1GB of GDDR5 memory for each chip.

Thanks, I've even shown him this page.
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/254/radeon-hd-5970.html

which clearly shows it is 1024 x 2, but he insists on the following

t is not 1gb per gpu. It is a 2GB vram card and both gpu's utilize 2GB. Each gpu is a single 256bit 2gb gpu,

So its a 4GB CARD :O I never knew that, I'll buy 2 then....
