I've recently bought EVGA 7300 GS vc, with 256 mb memory installed. However, the "problem" is - it says 256 mb on the box. EVGA 7300 comes both in several versions, including 256 mb and 512 as well. When I installed it and viewed info about it in the device manager, it says the vcard has 512 mb on it. Not that I complain or anything, I just thought that maybe, it's a recent trend that's made up, or if it's compatibility issues with my mb, or vc decided to steal some RAM or (what I actually hope for) somebody was incompetent enough to put a 512 mb vcard into the box and sell it as 256mb, or something else I haven't thought about. Main parts of comp are: EVGA 7300 GS vcard, Asus P5NSLI mb, Kingston 1gb DDR2 667Mhz RAM, Intel Conroe e6400 cpu, plus some other add-ons, like a PSU, ethernet card and LG dvd burner. I don't really want to go to the place where I bought it to check, since they could either change it to 256mb version or make me pay extra for what they sold. Any ideas?

Yeah, one more thing- I have WinXP SP2 installed. Also, to clarify - I'm talking about eVGA GeForce 7300 GS.

I would check to see if your computer is still showing the same amount of system RAM as it did before so you know the card isn't swiping system RAM. The do start->run type dxdiag to make sure the card actually has 512MB. If both of those turn out alright, then it looks like you just got lucky.

on the bottom of the variety you're searching at £50 for a radeon 9600. this would strugle with more recent video games which contain battlefield 2, worry etc. next up a radeon 9800pro will be offered for below £100 they provide lifelike performance in maximum of todays video games and contain 256mb of ram if to procure better to spend then a geforce 7900gt will furnish significantly better suited performance yet will fee round £2 hundred inspite of this if to procure funds to burn then a geforce 7950GX2 with 1gb of ram is distinctly a lot the perfect you will get and is accessible for only below £400, you'll also link 2 of them up with an sli motherboard for the finest performance at the same time as the corect drivers change into accessible.

It probably comes with "TurboCache." TurboCaches is a technology from nVidia that shares your onboard graphics to speed your graphics up. So, by sharing the graphics, you end up with 512mb.
