Hey all
For some weird reason, 3dmark, MemStatus 2.5, ATI tray tools all tell me I have a 512mb X850XTPE, while ATI drivers and DXDiag tell me I have a 256mb X850XTPE.

I have set up monitoring graphics in ATI tray tools, and it CLEARLY shows that my VRAM usage often surpasses 256mb. What the heck is going on here?

RAM eater I doubt it though, but maybe you got a free 512MB card.

Cheers
Cameron

Hey! I had the same isue I plug another DDR2 in the begining says 1024RAM , 20 minutes later says 512  :-/ I unplug the new memory , the same, the I took the one was good and plug the weird new one , the computer didn't start , It came with a malfuntion and die, The next day by garantee they change me the DDR2 for another one, wich hopefully is still alive  :)

My X850 is definately NOT a RAM eater. Memory usage is around 300mb, that would leave 50mb for Windows.
