NVIDIA Geforce 210 shows 1GB when box shows 512

probably turbocache too...
lower model of each gen has turbocache usually
remember with my 6200 before swapping it to 7800gt
what a nice transition it was lol...
not currently hoping for one if my 8800gt burn
to have it replaced on extended warranty
will grab a 9800gt with a new warranty

strange.. i never saw a 200 series with under 1024mb

Hi everyone,

Actually, I am using Windows XP and I just got yhis topic by searching on the internet. Surprisingly, I hope that I were getting a luck as someone here just said.

This is the VGA card I just ordered this week : exactly the same box like the following (PowerColor HD 5770 512 Mb GDDR5)



But when I checked for the specification of the card, it showed these (1 Gb memory)





I could not believe my eyes when I just saw this .

Hello!

Retailers do make mistakes. It is possible you have a different card than you think. Download Speccy and find your video card. Is it the same as displayed on the box?

I just used this software and here , the result is still the same as what I posted :

Thank you very much for your instruction.

I just downloaded and ran the GPU-Z . Yes, the miracle was not there My graphic card was just 512 Mb one. It must be a shared RAM.

It must be a shared RAM.

No it is being read wrong. Could just be down to running the card on XP. ATI/AMD don't have any cards out now that use/share system ram.

i have this card but when I bought it it was advertised as 1GB
