    Hi Guys , i have a strange failure lately when GPU-Z is "trying" read the Memory Usage of my GTX 970 (Asus Strix Edition)
    I run on win10 with the 352.84 driver.

    (i cannot link the file properly coz i dont have 5 posts yet ^^ )

    // gpuz.techpowerup.com/15/05/25/3cv.png

    the problem is no matter what i play or do the Value of Memory Used stays at 158 to 162 MB and dosnt move up or down .

    I dont have any problems to play Games at all , everything runs as it should FPS in Game is wonderful , and nothing crashes out of the blue.

    So im wondering if its a
    a Hardware or driver problem or a win 10 problem?


    So the GTX is working fine i gues.

    Did anyone had the same problem and what could the fault be?

    Thanks for reading.

    I would not worry about it if games are running fine. What does MSI AB sais about Vram usage? You tried monitoring?

    It's Win10, Afterburner does the same thing. Need to wait for an update.

    That's a bug in NVIDIA driver for W10, NVAPI is reporting wrong memory usage for tools like AB and GPUZ. Give NV time to polish W10 drivers and wait for a fix from driver side.
