I'm sorry that doesn't hold water Nick.

Fact:  NickN has a God complex.  NickN has a puny ego.

I'm sure you'll go running around the boards whining how it's taken to be an insult.  Me... I'll just use the excuse that they're "facts" based on your own childish behavior and what I've seen out of you.

Nice tap dancing NickN.  Anyway you look at it... if it looks like sh*t and smells like sh*t... it most defiitely is ...

What you can't lock threads Nick?  Huh... imagine that. 

Wonder why the guys have not made you a "mod" yet - with all that God like power and knowledge... I'm sure they would have recognized your awesome expertise long ago if you had checked your sensitive ego at the door.

Yeah... I'm SURE that's it! LOL.

Wow for a guy who was done with this thread like 3 posts ago, you sure do know how to keep your mouth shut.

Let your true colors show Nick.  It's perfectly in line with your previous claim that you have not thrown any childish insults.

My bedtime is of no concern to you NickN. 

The bigger problem is your insecurity and tiny little ego.  Nothing can help you with that little buddy. Nice tap dancing and skirting around the issue buddy.  I can still see your true colors shine through plain as day.

Where did you go?



Guess it was bed time..    I wanted to play more 




oh well

Who’s not





If the thread gets locked just continue in PM.. I got your message.



The fan speed issue is because there is no speed sensor GPUz can read on the Asus 4670. 2 pin fan connectors will not be read by GPU-z

Alright, the conflicting readouts is what I expected.

After seeing the GPUz read 512 I have to lean toward the card being 512 at this point. That tool is rarely wrong and the only thing that can make it wrong is if there is something seriously wrong with the Vcard or system BIOS. Its possible so I wont count that out yet.

My guess however at this point is your card makes use of ATi HM which is something I have rarely seen since I do not play with the budget ATi cards very often. I first saw it in use with the HD 2 series some time ago. I forgot about it or would have mentined it earlier.

ATi budget cards can use a process they call HyperMemory.. this is a process in the newer ATi drivers that allocates physical memory (a shared process) for video memory.  More than likely that is what is happening here. It’s usually only used on their budget cards. GPUz will read the correct memory amount for the card and DXdiag is reading the amount + RAM allocation from the driver.

Try right clicking your desktop -> personalize -> display settings -> advanced settings then look in the adaptors tab. See if it shows you both a dedicated and shared memory amount. If it does then this is a HyperMemory card however I have heard some do not report the two different amounts as I listed.

Since HyperMemory can allow you to use free physical memory the Memstatus test would not work. You could still see  >512 in use.

I am sure this is most likely the ATI HM system at work given the GPUz and DXDiag readouts + the budget card in use however if you are still not sure after checking the advanced settings and wish to know for sure I will be glad to look up the memory chip ID number.

Look at the black memory chips on the back of the card. They are the larger rectangles. You will see an image of the card on page 1 of this thread I posted. Post the ID string from one of the chips and I will pull the data sheets and verify what the card is using. More than likely if there are only 4 of those chips on the back it’s a 512 however it is possible they are using their new high density memory modules and that means it still could be 1GB but I need the numbers off the chip to confirm
