This card can hit 6GB vram just fine. Those who get 5.7GB forgot about windows AERO is taking a chunk of VRAM in the background as well.

It is not just about VRAM, but the GPU itself is simply not fast enough.

"The Ampersand"

CPU: Intel Core i7 "Devil's Canyon" 4790K 4.0Ghz Boost Clock 4.4GHz.
GPU: MSI Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 Ti 6GB
Mobo: MSI Z97I Gaming ACK
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8GB 1866Mhz
PSU: Silverstone SFX 600W Gold
SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 256GB
HDD: Western Digital Black 8TB 7200rpm
Case: Silverstone Raven RVZ01 Slim HTPC
Cooler: Corsair H55 AIO Liquid Cooler
OS: Windows 8.1 OEM
Accessories: Microsoft All-in-one Wireless Media Keyboard, Minix Neo A2 Lite Wireless AirMouse/Remote/Keypad, Microsoft Wireless Xbox 360 Controller for controlling Kodi/XBMC, Plex and Steam Big Picture Mode wirelessly.
Display: Asus PQ321Q 4K60 Monitor, shifting to 4K60 4KTV 55" soon.

Liquid cooled CPU even in such small chassis. Temperature under load 45-55C for CPU and 55-70C for GPU.

Games benchmarks at 4K Very High/Ultra with AA off and V-Sync off:

Grand Theft Auto V: Minimum 27fps. Maximum 55fps. Average 36fps.
Crysis 3 Hunter Edition: Minimum 25fps Maximum 55fps. Average 35fps.
Call of Duty Advanced Warfare: Minimum 62fps. Maximum 89fps. Average 77fps.
Project CARS: Minimum 55fps. Maximum 60fps. Average 57fps.
Mortal Kombat X: Minimum 60fps. Maximum 60fps. Average 60fps.
Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt: Minimum 30fps. Maximum 42fps. Average 37fps.

All this in a chassis slightly bigger than an Xbox One or a PS4. A truly mostrous performance in a truly killer console-obliterating size.

what if we disable AERO? can it hit 6xxxMB vram???

Hi Guys, wanna ask Idealtech Palit Jetstream 980Ti non reference card rite? wana pull trigger but dunno wan  buy ref or non ref.. gigabyte g1 980ti cost a bomb...

hey guys, does anyone know where can i get ZOTAC GTX 980 Ti AMP! Extreme Edition here in malaysia?

Even if you disable AERO, the basic compositing still take up 100-200Mb of VRAM.
Plus google chrome,firefox,safari and internet explorer also uses a bit of VRAM.
Not to mention a certain amount of vram also being used to display a image on your screen.

If you want to properly run the tool, you need to run it in headless mode.

In any case, you dont need to worry about memory segmentation. GTX980Ti doesnt have this issue.
All GTX980TI gpu memory controllers are properly linked to active gpu L2 cache. Only SMM units are being disabled this time.

GTX970 is unique in a sense that all of its memory controllers are perfectly fine, but one of its memory controller it isnt linked directly to the L2 cache. (Probably a segment of L2 cache is defective).

Secondary build completed.




Waiting for KLIAV starting this July 3rd for better 4KTV deals. Cheapest around I saw is LG 55" at RM3,8xx but riddled with complaints of poor contrasts. Next step up is Samsung non-curved SUHD at RM6,3xx.

One thing we know here is regardless of our GPU hardware, it won't be very useful when we don't get better games - it's absolutely baffling to see that we have games still released in hugely broken and unpolished state despite we get lots of GPU horsepower for cheap. 

Those developers are lazy butts.

Take AC:Unity for an example,gg...

bro r u goin sell ur card get those R9 3xx or u waiting for nano??

Take AC:Unity for an example,gg...

Man, really hope that doesn't happen to The Division.
Don't really mind the downgraded graphics, but hell... don't let it be a broken game.

Those high-end cards are out of my reach.   The range of GTX960/R9 380 and below...though i don't think i'm upgrading next year.

Just checked that it's another Ubisoft game..

if u bought it can u test for me whether it really hit 6GB vram?? so far i didn't see anyone hit above 5.7GB vram if no mistake

so far cant find any game that can allow me to hit 6GB vram ... GTA V if I push further 6++ it will crash

Best I could do is 4k ultra 8x msaa all the advance graphic on peak only 5500mb like that
Surprisingly I thought its going to be slideshow but instead it plays like console 30fps lol . Damn this card is quite a beast even for a reference card

But I think the sweetspot would be 1440p pushing to 4k at least need 2 on sli . Unless you want to compromise the settings
