| each GPU has 512MB of memory so there's 1GB physically, but it works the same as having 2 x 3870's in crossfire i.e. there will be two copies of the textures etc; one for each set of 512MB VRAM, for each GPU. |

| Purge Intel! Praise AMD! | so in other words? Both 512mb VRAM is being read?

| yes, it still has to address both sets of 512MB RAM individually it's just that each set of 512MB RAM will basically have a copy of the textures etc.. |

Why do i bother with my Combust/Tech hosting then... I needed the 'rep' from that... And anyway, told you so, that gpu-z etc dont give the correct readings on dual video cards like you would like to humanly read.
