Hello all,

I have a Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 (1GB of DDR3 memory) installed on my (ancient) Dell Dimension 8400 and it is working fine; however, I am a bit confused about the information provided by GPU-Z as follows:

My first question is why is GPU-Z reporting my memory as GDDR3 when I have DDR3?

(Image deleted)

My second question is why is GPU-Z reporting that I am using dynamic memory instead of dedicated memory? I never see dedicated memory in use... even under stress testing.

(Image deleted)

I'm confused about the above so any help and/or explanations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

norepli

Why delete the images??? If you tried to host them on your own web server and worry about bandwidth costs/traffic, you can just upload them to Tinypic, Imgur, Imageshack.us/etc instead.

Other than that, you can't expect a reply in no time, you need to wait a bit!
Most of the people here in these forums have other jobs/work to do besides reading this forum.
