A while back I picked up a Creative 3D Blaster Annihilator Pro. Supposedly (according to the box and everywhere I've read about it) the card is 32MB DDR.
When installed in my system, the card only seems to be using 16MB. The driver property page titled "GeForce DDR" reports On-Board Memory: 16MB. I assume this is not normal
Here is some interesting info:
Inspecting the card itself, reveals this:
Model CT6970
Ram: (there are 4 of these per side)
infineon
SGRAM
HYB39D32322TQ-6
Germany A
9941 U41532
When the system is rebooted the following is displayed:
NVIDIA GeForce DDR VGA BIOS
Version 2.10.3.02.04
...some copyright stuff...
Creative CT6971 (AGP)
16.0 MB RAM
Even the boot up video bios report says 16 MB! Argg! Also notice the different model numbers.
Has anyone heard of this before? Could it be a problem with my motherboard (run-of-the-mill asus with celeron on slocket) or could it be a bios configuration problem? I'm out of ideas.
Thanks!
