Hi
I have a question about gpu-z
Does it show the total (shared) memory or the dedicated memory, in the memory field of the software?
Also it doesn't recognise if my graphic card is ddr3 or ddr5, is there a problem with my gpu or is it ok?!
Thank you so much

Thank you
But sorry I came to this site by my mobile phone, and I didn't captured that photo myself, it isn't mine.
For me, it doesn't show if it is ddr3 or 5, it says "unknown". Is my graphic card ok?
Thank you

It says it is SDR
But on the internet I read it is DDR3
My graphic card is nvidia gtx 950M
Is there a problem with my graphic card or is the software wrong?
Thank you so much in advance

Hi

that's a bit silly :slap:

nvidia gtx 950M is a mobile device for laptops / notebooks

Is there a problem with my graphic card or is the software wrong?
GPU-Z is primarily used for PC's so Neither; GPU-Z simply dose not fully support mobile devices

Clearly states Memory Type as GDDR5 (Elpida) = DDR5
Just for a minor correction, GDDR5 is not DDR5, it's basically DDR3 for graphics, just as GDDR4 was. GDDR3 was even DDR2 based, so be careful not to assume that you can just chop off the "G" and call it a day.

No
I didn't use it on my phone
I used it on my laptop
I just said because i came to this site by mobile phone, i searched that photo on the internet, to point to what i mean. Ididn't capture that photo by myself, it isn't mine. I found it on the internet, to show you what i'm talking about.
I searched it on the web, because my laptop was not on and i didn't want to turn it on to take a photo ....

I wanted to know what is that number circled in red color.
And you said it shows the dedicated memory.

And now i'm asking a new question:
It says my gpu is sdr, but it should be ddr3!
Is there a problem with my gpu, or is the software not working correctly?
Because my gpu should be ddr3, i read on the internet, but the software says sdr!
GPU-Z is wrong? Or my gpu is fake?
Thanks

But it should say: gtx 950m ddr3.
Is the software wrong, or is my gpu fake?
