I Just installed a new graphics Card (GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB WINDFORCE 2X OC EDITION) on windows 7 64 bit with 16 GB system memory. I installed the 4 GB Video card to free up system ram from integrated graphics. Why does it show under advanced display setting shared system memory 2048?
I attached picture as well.
That is normal and is not your RAM but your card's VRAM, unless you see "Shared" in the location where mine says 32GB (system RAM) then you have no issues.
Hope this clears it up for you, you might want to also check in your device manager to make sure you have also disabled the on-board GPU in the BIOS.
I did Disable onboard graphics in bios. Sounds like everything is good. Thank you for the reply.
Look here too, and I don`t know what to trust in Windows 7, it`s always said DX10 when we know we are using DX11 :)
That snip you guys have posted does not even show the correct amount of dedicated video memory, and mine shows the same. (strange)
It all comes down to your particular motherboard, they all use memory differently.
