Total Vram Test

Oh, Doh
Tried autoscale and wmic tells me 4gig too.
Hmm. Perhaps this is why HWINFO and MSI Afterburner's not able to get it either.

I think you need to take your video card back. They left off half the RAM they told you it had.

D'oh! I was SO hoping this WMIC command worked... but:

Code: Select all

C:\>wmic.exe PATH Win32_videocontroller GET AdapterRAM, name
AdapterRAM  Name
4293918720  NVIDIA Quadro K5100M

I have an 8 GB video card... this only shows 4. This is because the AdapterRAM value is a uint32 value, which maxes out at 4 GB. So this command won't work with video cards with more than 4 GB of RAM.

Ah... Bummer.
