I've already tested that, and the bug is gone :) It's the same bug you've encountered, it's similar to 290X 8GB version and 390/390X 8GB cards.
So waiting for the release.

Aah now it makes sense why he got those chips.

* When just 3-4 major videoRAM manufacturers exist, I think one should at least try to have some courtesy as to remember their names correctly. :)

Sigh. He clearly said he is NOT mining at all. You need to work on your reading comprehension skills, methinks.

Sorry to revive this thread, but didnt this bug come back in meantime? I just noticed that my RX580 8GB shows up to 4GB in "memory used (dedicated)" , latest 2.27.0 and latest drivers 19.12.1. Win7x64
Not sure if someone else with AMD/RX500 can confirm this, if this is indeed gpuz/driver bug.
Sad thing is I cant guarantee my card isn't messed up, as I bought it used from miner, so dunno if it couldn't be 4GB and he just flashed 8GB bios when selling or something like that (but I kind of doubt he would get 4GB for mining)


Reason why I started looking into this was that Jedi Fallen Order keeps randomly rebooting my PC, so I kind of suspected gpu/vram. Strange thing is that even when I run MSI kombustor furmark donut 6500MB test it shows just around 2GB usage. For bellow load I tried unigine superposition 8K which says it should use 6GB, also few other games I quickly tested never gets above 4GB in there.

Upgrade to a normal, new OS such as Windows 10 maybe? :)
IF you play games you would want Windows 10 anyway.

If I remember correctly, Windows 7 can not track more than 4 GB of VRAM allocations

You are of course right sir, in Win10 (same box) it shows above 4GB. Thanks

Yes I game and no thanks I dont want win10.
Only reason i have win10 in dual boot is for VR as that really only works there. But sadly as i'm just building new ryzen box I will have to stomach that win10 crap :(

Many PC/Xbox exclusives are only offered in Windows Store, no Store on Windows 7, so you cannot run those. :)
For example (but not limited to) - Forza series, Forza Horizon series.
Some lesser games may work on Windows 8.1 too, but as that is basically an early version of Windows 10, no reasons to want it.
