as description says my gfx card is only showing 735MB RAM in dxdiag, just wondering if anybody else with a 6850 is having this issue which would indicate that it it the new 11.10 drivers or is my card dying.

Mine shows the same in DXDiag mate - even if you run it in 64bit mode.
CPU-Z however displays it correctly at 2Gb, so try running that. There is also GPU-Z (0.55 latest version) and this also displays my mem correctly. Try running those and see what it says before flexing your credit card!

bugger flexing the cards it will be going back to xfx. it's supposed to have a lifetime warranty.
it shows in gpu-z as 1GB but on systemrequirementeslab.net it shows as 735MB aswell but it used to show as 1GB.

i was thinking it could be something like that as it's only just happened so could be because i've just upgraded to an 8Gb ram kit. it was showing when i had the 4Gb kit.
although that answer from microsoft is for system memory and it's showing the full 8192Mb of ram it's the gfx ram that is showing a lower value
