Allocated Video RAM at Games

Hey guys, I got a nice ASUS Strix GTX 970 Video card, and in some games I can a the allocated video ram limit.

As you all probably know, there are 3.5 gb + slower 0.5 gb on the 970.

Many games don't even go up to more than 2GB today, but in GTA 4 I want to mod the hell out of it with graphics mods, and is it better to turn the max VRAM to 4GB or 3.5 if that is possible?

Thanks.

Keep it at 3,5 GB. That partition is GDDR5, the other 0,5 is not, it will fully break your FPS to the core.

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.

What? The 0.5 is not GDDR5? Isn't it just a 32bit Data bus?

It's somehow broken, only Nvidia knows how.
