Replies Ethryx Posted at 8:03 pm on Oct. 29, 2008 Its not a mistake, its not rounded, and its not mislabeled. Its Virtual Memory added to your Physical Video Card Memory. The computer allows computer memory to be used as video memory, and this is added to your 512MB graphics card. Virtual memory is a computer system technique which gives an application program the impression that it has contiguous working memory, while in fact it may be physically fragmented and may even overflow on to disk storage.

Unless you have some really uncommon card with an odd amount of RAM. FingerSub Posted at 8:02 pm on Oct. 29, 2008 Quote: from silverrose42 at 10:01 pm on Oct. 29, 2008 Your graphics and your computer hold different amounts of ram... so you can only have 512 left for your graphics but anything else goes with the 765... like, it's the way it's divided up. I'm just talking about my graphics card. Dark Knight Posted at 8:01 pm on Oct. 29, 2008 It could be mislabeled. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen it. It is also possible your computer is dedicating a part of your ram towards graphics. However this usually only occurs if you are on a 32bit system with more than 3gb of ram.
