Get total VRAM value

[StArL0rd84]

Back in 2017 i needed to know the total video memory available for a monitoring skin.
Proved to be impossible with a wmic command becasue the Windows utilities have not been updated to 64-bit so can't show more than 4GB.

But i have recently learned that there's a Registry key that contains the value called HardwareInformation.qwMemorySize.
Inside the key there's other goodies too like GPU name and such.

Code: Select all

[mVramTotal1]
Measure=Registry
RegHKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
RegKey=SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000
RegValue=HardwareInformation.qwMemorySize
UpdateDivider=-1
[mVramTotal2]
Measure=Calc
Formula=mVramTotal1/1073741824
UpdateDivider=-1

[mVRAMUsed1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=UsageMonitor
Alias=VRAM
Index=0
MinValue=0
MaxValue=(#VRAM#*1073741824)
[mVRAMUsed2]
Measure=Calc
Formula=mVRAMUsed1

[mVramFree]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(mVramTotal2-(mVRAMUsed2/1073741824))

Nice find! What make of video card are you using? Wondering if there is a difference between AMD and nVidia. I'm using an nVidia GPU and my registry matches yours exactly.

I have a GTX 1080 8GB
*cries in 60fps*

But yeah, would be nice to test on an AMD card.
