HD7950 Memory Question

I have the same card and dxdiag reports it as 2782MB and GPUZ reports it as 3072MB. I'm guessing it's either a glitch or more likely it's accounting for something else.
 
I have 2 1gb cards and mine shows this, so I guess don't worry 🙂

Exactly the same for me with same card.
Im thinking its due to pre-cert drivers, you know not having official MS approval or whatever.
 
Yesterday I benchmarked my system using 3DMark 11, I've scored 6500. Not bad, I've compared to other bench with similar systems and I am approximately in the middle.

However, 3DMark reports my GPU has 1024MB 😵

My specs are:
Core i5 2500 stock
GA-P67A-UD4-B3
Sapphire HD 7950 810/1250
2x2GB GSkill DDR3-1333

I had no time to play BF3 though.
 
With a high end setup ideally you should go for 16gb so that you don't need to upgrade for at least 1.5 years or so. And prices couldn't be better.

Chances are he doesn't need anywhere near that amount of RAM. Don't overspend just because it's cheap, it's still wasting money.
