Hey, thank you for clicking this post!

 

A couple of years ago, I bought this second hand GPU, a Zotac 1070ti AMP! and didn't think much of it. It's been my daily driver for the past 2 years.

Today, I was bench marking my old gpu since im planning on selling it, and decided to bench mark the one im using at the moment.

Despite everything, im pretty uninformed when it comes to these things, so im not sure if im missinterpreting this information.

The gpu is supposed to be 8GB of VRAM, however, Heaven (the program I used for the benchmark) states that the gpu has 4095MB.

 

Am I interpreting the data wrong, or is this correct?

 

Thank you and have a great day!

Your GPU is most likely fine and legit, heaven is just so old it can't comprehend the fact that frame buffers beyond 4GB exist. I ran sanctuary (even older than heaven) and it reported my 980ti as a 4GB card as well. If you are skeptical you can use GPU-Z to confirm you have a GP104.
