Memory Bus Guide on max?

We all know that each memory bus has an amount of memory which has a native support, right?

 

Well I was wondering if the Memory bit x 10 would equal the max supported memory on the bus.

 

Example:

 

192-Bit

 

192 x 10 = 1920 MB of supported memory

 

384-Bit

 

384 x 10 = 3840MB of max supported memory.

 

 

 

Does this actually work or am I just imagining things?

256bit x 10 = 2560MB, yet you can have 4GB on that bus. 

I budget build well. Want to learn? PM me if you want advice.

But the question is, is the equation theoretically correct to the application I place on it?

No because you're saying 2560MB would be the max on a 256bit bus, but it isnt.

You can have 4GB on a 128 bus(EVGA GT 640), I think what Bluejay means is what is usable by the card under the best case scenario.

To be installed, no it's not the max physically. However, the bus can only support so much natively.

OOOOHHHHH. Then yes, it seems to be that way.

Its like pumping a card with so much more memory than it can handle over the bus... is his question yes?

 

Is it a waste as it cannot fully utilize the excess vram. yes?

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
