Unigine Heaven - wrong VRAM measurement

Hi all, 

I've never really experimented with overclocking or benchmarking before, and I tried it for the first time yesterday.

So after running my first ever benchmark, at stock speeds, I noticed that the Unigine Heaven Benchmark results had the wrong VRAM amount displayed (see attachment). The R9 390 is supposed to have 8gb. I am aware that this won't make a performance difference, but I'm just curious as to why it is displaying this incorrectly. If anyone has the same or a similar issue, or understands why this would be happening, I would love to know!

Thanks all

Heaven benchmark usually displays info incorrectly from my experience with it, if you really want to have something to display the stats correctly I would use gpu-z or msi afterburner for it.

OK, thanks for clarifying. Is this an issue with many GPUs, or just AMD, or just R9 300 series?

It's issue with new cards.

That software wasn't updated in ages.

Not a hardware issue

 

My guesss is that its running 32bit graphics.

Alright, glad to know its not an issue with my thermonuclear reactor R9 390. You would think such a widely-used benchmarking program would avoid such issues though. Thanks

Almost all software telling you about vram is showing the REQUESTED, not the actual in use amount.   Don't think there is any programs that can show actual amount of vram being used.
