Don't know about 100M Edition but four K4G41325FC (1GB) is 4 GB. Problem?

It does have 4gb of RAM. They just dont all run at the same speed / parallelized together. It's the ROP count and Cache sizes that they have to be careful they write the correct number for

3500mb of fast and awesome RAM + 500mb of slow and retarded RAM = Great 2015 card, awful 2016 card

I'm jus' eavesdroppin' today. I said it before. I think the jury is still out on these. I think the herd mentality responds to the 3.5-versus-4.0 GB frenzy without better info about performance with current-gen equipment.

But we'll see.

I dont' get what game resources you can put into that 512MB that isn't going to be needed at full speed

awful 2016 card

Hyperbole and exaggeration. You speak as if in a year all games are going to be photo-realistic.

I want to see a game that doesn't just waste resources for the sake of it that actually makes having the memory worth it. Probably won't happen until the cards are too slow to compete anyway who knows. I had 2GB cards up until this year when I swapped them for 970s. I never felt "gosh 2GB is crap, I need more"

You know my phone says it has 16gb, but it only has 12 usable, so how come I cant use the 16 it says it has on the box? I should sue for false advertising.....I mean the other 3gb isnt even there being used slowly, I just have no access to it. Or my hard drive in my computer, the box said it was a 2 TB, but when its formatted and I open it up to put stuff on it, I dont get to use a full 2tb space on it at all.....but the box claims and clearly says on it that I am buying a 2tb hard drive but there isnt a full 2 tb of usable space on it I can use...wtf, since Im suing Samsung, I may as well go after WD too....
