    Graphics card memory error


    I need help on something, when i run dxdiag it shows that i have 1011MB of vram, but when i run gpu-z it shows that i have 256MB, so i dont know which one is my real vram , but my graphics card(8400gs) is overclocked from : Core Clock - 451 Mhz, Shader Clock - 1113 Mhz, Memory Clock - 266 Mhz To Core Clock - 690 Mhz, Shader Clock - 1703, Memory Clock - 315 Mhz...

    Hard to say based only on this information as the 8400gs came in
    256
    512
    and 1024 models.
    So both are actually possible.

    Dxdiag I know is not always right my old 8800gt nvidia card would often read as having over 2gigs when it only had 512meg.
    Overclocking can also confuse things.
    Based on the information at hand I can't really say which is right for sure though, they are both possible.

    I can't say for certain, if you knew the exact model number and manufacturer of the card you have you could simply google that.
    guessing , based on what little you've said I would kind of lean to it being the 256.
    The only way to really know is to get the info off the card itself though.
