your dxdiag shows wrong amount of RAM for your GPU?

I saw a problem came several times on the forums these days in which users report the command the dxdiag reports wrong amount of RAM for the graphics card.  I've seen some users report that the amount is presented as something similar to 750 or 950 MB when they should have between 1-2 GB.

It turns out that it is probably a problem with dxdiag himself.  If the computer has more than 4 GB of system memory or more 1 GB memory GPU, that it will not be reported correctly.  Also, it may not report the correct video card in the report.

Here is an article of Mircosoft on the issue.

To confirm that your GPU has indeed the right amount of RAM I suggest you use an application like GPU-Z.

I hope it's useful!

  • Maximum speed and the amount of RAM for m7664x

    I have a m7664x that I will be upgrading to Windows 7 64 bit and I want to upgrade the RAM.

    According to the specifications of the product, there the mother of A8M2N-(NodusM3) with 4 DIMMS.  On this page, it says that it supports up to 4 GB of RAM to 667 MHz.

    Now, I came across a few posts here and elsewhere that suggest it can handle more (up to 8 GB) and more RAM speeds (PC6400 / 800 MHz) and recognized him and used.

    Can anyone confirm that it can support up to 8 GB of RAM and with higher speeds?

    Wow, what an old thread!

    To answer your question and update this thread, I bit the bullet and bought 8 GB of 800 MHz RAM and worked for almost a year now.  I seem to remember that I ran MemTest on it and it shows that he is indeed running at 800 MHz, but that's a long time I would have done, if I did.

    I also thought about upgrading the processor, but already at that time, I installed the RAM (close to a year ago), compatible processors were hard to find and expensive.  In addition, the machine was not used for anything else than to the General functions and has also been hampered by graphics shipped to start.  At the end of the day, spend the extra money on a pretty old computer RAM was the limit for me.

    blueeclipse86, you can try to upgrade the RAM on your machine, as I have done, but, of course, I can't guarantee that it'll work for you.

  • Critical failure DirectX - DXDiag shows no problem, used for end-user TIME, nothing works.

    Without apparent reason, Direct X has suddenly stopped working. I can't play Solitaire or the Sims 2. I followed the previous advice on this issue, and with the help of dxdiag shows no problem, reinstall he didn't help not, using the runtime for the end-user to install thing older DX 9 stuff told me that everything is up to date, I am at a total loss.

    I am running Win 7 Home Premium and everything I have running is Firefox, GIMP, and Skype. I searched for nothing 'media center' as I've heard it's a question and nothing like running. I don't know what to do.

    There are two DirectX install 'things'.

    It looks like you were using the Installer Web of DirectX, which is an update of DirectX.

    The update only installs the DirectX 'missing' files and does not overwrite the existing DirectX files.

    which is what is needed if a DirectX file or files is damaged.

    -It may be that your error is the result of corrupted files. It happens from time to time. Sometimes because

    a game or other software borks DX format when it insists on the installation of DX again for you.

    The DirectX Redist (June 2010) below to replace all DirectX files.

    When you run the installer it will ask you where you want to save the downloaded installation program then

    "unpacks" the installation of DirectX in the selected folder.

    After unpacking, open that folder and locate the DXSETUP.exe. This will reinstall DirectX, and

    should at least eliminate corrupt files DX as the source of the error.

    Hello

    According to the specifications of the laptop your L30 has ATI RC410MD graphics card. I m not 100% sure, but I assume that it is the shared memory card which means that certain amount of RAM will be used for graphics operations. Due to this RAM more low value appears in cell s system information.

  • Allocate more RAM for integrated graphics - HP Pavilion 15-n225nr TouchSmart laptop

    Hi, I have a HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-n225nr Notebook PC, which is optimal for workloads but (A10 2.10 GHz AMD quad-core processor, came with 8 GB of ram and 750 GB HARD drive), however, recently tried to make a few games but this laptop has an intgrated GPU. I read that the upgrade of RAM will do not much but I ordered a second card of 8 GB of ram, because I want to increase the framerate by every single FPS I can ge and I'm coming soon, so I'll have 16 GB of RAM and the fact he'll be dual channel is a more. I have also read that by upgrading the RAM you can upgrade the amount of ram used by your integrated gpu because there will be more RAM available for use. I don't know if by upgradinng the RAM VRAM happen automatically or if I'll be able to do it manually, I read that you can do it via the BIOS, I don't know for shure if possible.

    So, is it possible to increase the fraction of my RAM than my integrated graphics card uses?, if yes, how?

    If it is not possible to what can do to increase my FPS on the game?, because I can't change a dedicated GPU because it's a laptop.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    According to the specifications of your computer, to graph total 4195 MB memory is the maximum that can be used. Regardless of the amount of dedicated, is all that can be used as memory dedicated. As a general rule, Windows controls the amount of memory used by the video card. This means that you will not be able to change the settings in the BIOS that will change this option. This isn't a computer class in the game and you expect too much of him.

  • Re: Satellite A100-163 - I low amount of RAM

    Ive just upgraded from 1 GB RAM to 4 GB of RAM on my laptop.

    I know that XP uses only 3.5 GB of RAM as max sound, but even im not seen that on memtest, I get around 3070 mb.
    The max RAM spec can use the laptop's RAM DDR2 (533 MHz)
    I've set to 4 GB of DDR2 667. The laptop it should reduce.

    I have integrated graphics 128, there up to 256 MB HyperMemory. That would be the reason for the amount of RAM below?

    Something that I find weird is that when I run dxdiag, it shows that graphic design has 512meg, ive no idea why he said that, when I run 3dmark05 stats he said meg 138

    Can someone help me on this on? But im stumpted?
    I have the latest drivers on the Tosh site, the only thing that seems a bit outdated is the graphics drivers, but I can't find anywhere that makes newer drivers for this laptop.

    Ive read remapping of the RAM, but there is no option in the BIOS to do this.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Upgrade of RAM for Satellite Pro 3400

    Hello

    I own a laptop Satellite Pro 3410, it has pentium celeron 600, 64 MB of ram and 13 '' dstn display. I want to upgrade my ram, somewhere, I read that it can be improved with 256 MB, so that there then 320Mo. My question is now, what I have to use 2 pieces of 128 MB of ram or can I use 1 piece of 256 MB of ram. The point is a friend gave me a 256MB ram for PC laptop (pc-100) toshiba, I put it and it seems to work (win2k showed me the 320Mo compleet), but can it be problems, using this a big RAM?

  • Satellite L30-10 X - where can I get the new RAM for upgrade?

    Hello, world from Toshiba!

    I finally decided to spend my current RAM (2 x 512) memory in better and more useful work 2 x 1024. I'm willing to spend the right amount of money for the best solution and I really wanted to get the upgrade memory on the official website of Toshiba, but for some reason any he does not list my model (L30-10 X) in the list of laptops, in fact I can't find at all.

    Could someone please direct me to a site that sells official Toshiba products, or if you please inform me of a potential market of memory RAM (for example, Kingston, Corsair, PNY) which will work in my laptop?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello!

    I think that your model is not on the site of Toshiba, because it s an old but why you don't find your model on the Toshiba site, if you want to increase the RAM? Official website of Toshiba, you can order new RAM modules.

    I tried a bit with Google and I founded the part number for 1 GB RAM DDR2 400/533; It s PA3411U-1M1G.
    If you're looking for with Google too you should find a few online shops where you can buy it. Alternative contact you service provider allowed. They also sell new RAM for your laptop.

    And in my view you can also use RAM from Kingston for example. I have good experiences with Kingston.
    As far as I know Toshiba doesn't produce its own RAM. It s RAM other manufacturers like Kingston, but only with another label.
