Title: GA-Z68X-UD3P-B3 - HD5850 GPU And Ram Problem
Post by: azmanmanz on July 14, 2011, 12:13:04 pm

Hi
I have run third party program called "Can You Run It" to check my PC compatibility for new games. It's weird the results show only 746.0MB video memory available. Im using intel i7 2600k , Graphics Card HD5850 1GB DDR5 256bit and 8GB DDR3 1333 1.5v  memory module.  Then i remove 4GB ram from motherboard and re-run the program resulting 2.7GB video memory available. Is there have any problem with motherboard, graphics card or ram?

Hi

Well I am not familiar with the program itself but I think the problem lies in your interpretation of what it is reporting. It seems to be showing the correct amount of memory installed in the first instance but then further down it shows graphics RAM available. These are two entirely different things. Your graphics card comes with it's own memory on board.

I am afraid your pictures that you uploaded didn't show anyway which doesn't help with the diagnosis.
