Vram?

[LesGensMentales]

A while ago I built a system with three EVGA 780 ti's in SLI. So does a monitor use the vram of the card it's connected to? or the one in the first slot on the motherboard?

Vram is used in all of the cards.

Example 1: you have 2 2Gb cards: you get total of 2Gb of Vram, because you cant stack Vram because both cards need to use it.

Example 2: you have one 2Gb card and one 4Gb card: you get total of 2Gb of Vram, because both card always use same amount of Vram so you cant fill more than 2Gb

both cards' memory stores the same data. there is no difference to where a monitor is connected

Vram is used of all of the GPU's

 

I thought Vram didn't stack with multiple cards?

It doesn't. All cards must have the same data stored across  VRAM.

 

In any given SLI array the memory of each card must mirror the master card, if the memory of card one contains (1+2+3) then the second slave card's memory must contain (1+2+3) as well.

yeah, it wont stack.

One more question, if I set up 3 1440p displays but only run games in full screen using the first one, will the 3GB Vram in the 780 ti be enough?

I.m honestly sensing a troll right here hmm

Three 780ti's with no knowledge of what the vram gets used for  :huh:
