    Asus 3870X2

    My Asus EAH3870X2 is showing up with 512mb of ram instead of 1GB.
    Whats going on here should I return it or am I missing something?

    I thought they had 512MB of memory each.. much like SLi where cards don't share memory. Might be wrong.

    yeah I thought it was the drivers too, I havent used the beta ones but I have the latest one.
    About the SLI this card is a one card solution even though its using 2 GPUs (i think ) should it not show 1GB?

    Re: Asus 3870X2

    it uses 1 pcb so in theory(im not a pro with electronics) then it should appear as a single card and therefore show up as 1gb as its shared, much like a quad/dual core cpu.
    Check google for answers as i really dont know what could be wrong with it.
