Your board has 1 GB of vram. The max BAR size is 256 MB regardless of how much video ram is actually on the card. The BAR is the CPU's aperture to vram. The CPU can only access teh first 256 MB of vram, but the GPU can access the entire amount of vram.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
