GTX 1070 ONLY 6.7GB of VRAM

Is there a reason why nobody is talking about Nvidia latest stunt with the 1070?
It only has 6.7GB of usable VRAM and yet I can't find a single news article about it anywhere.
What the fuck is going on?

>Nvidiots will defend this

Here is proof asshole

...

and another one

Just because you also got fucked over by nvidia doesn't mean you have to defend them.
I'm returning my card tomorrow.

Seriously I want to understand why nobody is talking about this.

>theycantkeepgettingawaywithit

Seriously what is wrong with you guys?
Is this entire board filled with Nvidia shills?
There is something major wrong with a $400 card and nobody gives a fuck?
Did you guys also reacted like this with the 970?

link to that test?

Nice "proof"

>Is this entire board filled with Nvidia shills?
Yes

TL;DR:

total bullshit
has been disproven
op is a faggot.

moving on

>links to proof
>says it's been disproven
ffs at least read what you're linking pal

8GB is technically 6.7GiB so they weren't lying to you.

I GIVE MY LIIIIIIIIIFE

NOT FOR HOOOONOOOOOOOOOOR BUT FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR (YOU)

>at least read what you're linking pal

SHIIIIL EAAAAATER

who cares
video games are for children, cry moar.

Did you check that link?
I guess you didn't

>reddit moderator of the NVIDIA subreddit claims it's not true
>All the tests on the internet can only use 6.7 vram
>gta massive frame drop using more than 6.7 vram
>Kombustor can only test 6.7 vram
Nothing to see here folks

what hapen

Guys I just spoke with Nvidia Support. They said my 1070 FE only has 6.7GB of useable VRAM.
HOLY SHIT I AM LITERALLY ON SUICIDE WATCH NOW. FUCK NVIDIA IS FINISHED AND BANKRUPT 970 ALL OVER AGAIN SUE THE SHIT OUT OF THEM PLS.

So can we actually get a confirmation of this or are we going to be repeating rumors with contradictory statements and test results? Fuck off OP with the title, too.

Best (you) of the day

Literally no application can access or test the last 1.3GB of memory on the 1070.
I've tried everything.

Huh I thought it only had 6.

try some AAA game @ 4k ultra?

I did. They only use 6.7GB.

There. Had to run it at DSR 4k with 8XAA

2/3

3/3

TFW got cucked by nvidia again.

6.7 GiB

Ah yes, the infallible Reddit mod. The truth has been illuminated.

How about the 1060?
Fucking jews, my 1060 arrives tomorrow and probably have this shit too.

you're terrible at photoshop dude.

priceless

I love the fact that you can do it again and again in this world and a lot of people are so dumb as hell but I don't think that you have a great way of getting my hopes. I'm not sure what to do with a new phone case and that he was a good time with my life. I'm so excited to see you in my room and my mom. Cuckold myself with my mom and dad and I love it.

Make sure you run GPU-z or something that displays your total VRAM allocation side by side because the system will definitely be using some of the VRAM which could throw the test off a bit.

I am still allegedly 562MB short but that isn't even a round number. The benchmark is allocating chunks before it actually starts filling so it could be a matter of telling it to allocate more, or changing the block size.

where did you get those drivers?

just download more vram bro

someone test with this

those 1's look too much like 7's

like how could the artist even do math

Google says 8 GB = 7.45058 GiB.
Is Google just fucked up?

Only uses 6GB. It was the first test I ram.

Get better at photoshop or stop posting these
It's way too obvious that you edited it

link the tool :^)
stay mad, AMDead

>8xAA

you can literally see the name on the screenshot

guru3d link is down though

>ixes DPC latency bug on Pasal GPUs
What the fuck... I had a Dell Vostro laptop with a 9300GS or some shit tier GPU and suffered because of the DPC latency, they are getting that kind of issues again?! fuck it.

HOWEVER I own a 3.5 cuckcard now, zero issues, all purdy in 1080p for me so far.

enjoy
I sold mine to a dumb friend for $200

Its called 1070 because when you see it you turn 1070 degrees C and flame away

Ethan? Fuck you, I'm not dumb.
kek

8.00GB x 1.00 / 1.024^3

That same test only uses 2.3gb on a 780ti
4.2gb on a 980ti
3.4gb on a 290x

I know for sure my 980ti and 780ti would fill up all the Vram.

That tester is broken.

not him lol

>tfw complaining about 6.7GB VRAM not being enough

and no. im going to buy an AMD GPU myself

>Who needs 8GB anyways, lie all you want XD

CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP

I'm worried about that too.

The tester uses a cudaMalloc function ( computerbase.de/forum/showthread.php?t=1440618 expand the spoiler )
int UsedPointers = 0;

while (true)
{

int Error = cudaMalloc(&Pointers[UsedPointers], ChunkSize);

if (Error == cudaErrorMemoryAllocation)
break;

cudaMemset(Pointers[UsedPointers], 0, ChunkSize);
UsedPointers++;
}
to determine the number of chunks it will use in testing. If the driver were to only make available so much of the VRAM for CUDA, or "reserve" a portion then this test couldn't possibly use all the VRAM.

Does anyone know if that is the behavior of CUDA? Or is this where desktop graphics cards would diverge from workstation ones (would they have full VRAM access for CUDA.

*yawn*

Nice photoshop

many strawpolls conducted actually show this place is 70% amd

>polls on an anonymous image board

8gb? Why do you need 6.75 GB? As you can see here the card clearly has 4gb on it!

shitposting

designated mad amd shitposting

you have to run it without aero (aka full fullscreen)
the exact same thing will happen to any card when it comes to the last ~512MB because that's what aero takes up by default.

GTX 1070 is actually just 3.7GB, lower than the 199 USD RX 480 4GB. That's why it feels a bit stuttery when going beyond this memory

I feel you bro all I wanted was a proper 8GB graphics card ;_;

Interesting. That would explain 90% of shitposting in this thread. I just figured it was one lonely dude looking for attention.

I was wondering about that, but that test is reporting the card as being about 1.4GB short rather than around 500MB.
Still it is possible there are other things in there, like Chrome, that are using up portions of the VRAM.

REKT

>pay for 6GB VRAM

feels bad man

tfw I only paid for 3GB and I got about 19 GiB

lol

Doesnt ram not come in perfect capacity?
(Like how a 1tb drive may be several gb's less?)
