While installing Call of Duty black ops, I got asked how much video ram I have - good question indeed, as I did not remembered how much the 8800GTX had, so I did
lspci -v
and
and got:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G80 [GeForce 8800 GTS] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
     Subsystem: XFX Pine Group Inc. Device 2252

     Memory at fa000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M]

What ?? 256MB ? - it's just too little, I know it's over 512, I thing 768MB or more, but why does it seem like linux and wine will be unable to use it all ??:cry:

Yo don't have a 8800 GTX but a 8800 GTS

yes, I see that - anyway, the nvidia driver, reports (correctly) 320MB, so today I got a GTX570 - and lspci reports a 128MB range, yet the driver says 1,2GB ... so I guess it's not important.
