Is this normal for DxDiag to display VRAM like this?

You can see I have a 7950 3gb. I don't have any onboard GPU or anything activated. Is it normal for DxDiag to show shared memory and stuff like that? I would expect it to just say Dedicated memory: 3072mb which is what my card has onboard.

Yes, quite normal.

Total memory/pagefile size I guess. The number is also different if you run the 64bit version of DXDiag.

16GB, no pagefile.

This explains your poor numbers. I WON'T rant here again about the extremely silly habit of disabling the pagefile...
