So yeah here are my results for my msi gtx 970 gaming 4g

Seems like my card in particular tanks around 3.3gb-3.4gb. Note I closed every program before I did this and I also disabled something this site told me to do for accurate results called  'desktop composition' not 100% what it does but I observed from MSI Afterburner it reduces memory usage in the desktop. Also something of note after I finished the test, twice this happened my screen went black and I got a notification saying my display driver failed bur recovered. Anyway if anyone else has results feel free to show me I'm interested to what degree it varies between cards.

Maybe try other software? I haven't heard of Nai before, look at one of the Linus videos, they recommend some bench-marking software you might want to try. 

Downloading programs from CNet is not a good idea, as they will commonly include unwanted, and sometimes dangerous bloatware... The more you know.

Performance goes straight to hell xD, this is more than just the GPU core not being able to keep up with increased memory usage in my opinion.

Are you sure it is benchmarking software for this type of test? Cause I watch all of Linus's videos and I never heard him recommenced a benchmark for this

That test means nothing. The last 500mb needs the driver to utilize it correctly on the 970. The 980 is not setup that way. Thats why the 2 results look different.

 

Run kombuster memory burner set to 3gb  8 msaa with aero turned off and physicx set to the cpu. my 970 can use 3.99gb.

 

 look and my vram in this video (potato quality)
