Strange issue I have not seen before.
I went with a temporary/backup video card that was $10AR while I shop around, wait for amd 7 series and black friday to come around. I bought a zotac(yeah yeah I know) gt 220 512mb ddr2 pcie video card right...
Now, this is not a "problem" per say, but the memory on this card is being reported as 1GB(1024MB). Obviously the more the better right, but the card clearly says on the box and in all spec details that it has 512mb, not 1GB. In the driver details it says 1024MB memory and I also loaded up CPU-Z which also states it has 1024MB memory...Huh?
Basically, I am just bored and was wondering if any other experienced users have run into incorrectly reported memory for vid cards.
What is a definitive way to check how much memory it has?
