The HD5970 is a duel GPU card. Each GPU is assigned 1Gb of RAM.

I can confirm that CoD does not invoke the second GPU. Hopefully the upcoming patches will resolve this.

I have 5970 2gb too and same 51%

But this is truth, games only use that 1gb, maybe rof laucher see that 2gb wrong way, my rof is totally smooth with full settings.

But why as you see on picture I posted his memory usage is only 51% (with his 5970 card) while my 1 gig card with same settings is using over 100% video memory?

What does GPU-Z says when you run a(nother) game? In second tab it will show how much video ram is used.

That s good question, i don't know, i think because windows see it 2gb that's the reason, but im sure games uses only 1gb memory, i mean they uses 2gb but there is both memorys with same data, working likely somehow that RAID hdd's, so if faster that way.

The Radeon HD 5970 is AMD’s "fastest" video card. This is not a single-GPU video card like the Radeon HD 5870. The Radeon HD 5970 video card consists of two Radeon HD 5870 (down-clocked) GPUs connected via CrossFireX on a single board. While both GPUs retain all the specifications internally as a Radeon HD 5870, the performance has been reduced by core frequency reduction and memory frequency reduction. But worth mentioning is that many people find the 5970 very easy to overclock by large margins. There is also only 1GB of GDDR5 available per GPU. This memory video RAM limitation can cause high resolutions with antialiasing to run out of local video memory, since memory is not shared on the video card. Each GPU needs its own frame buffer space. The only way to fix this issue is to use more memory per GPU, but the 5970 doesn't have it.

In our evaluation of the GeForce GTX 580 last week, we did not compare it to the Radeon HD 5970. The reason being is that pricing on the 5970 was higher when we began the evaluation process by a full $160. The 5970 ended up being directly comparable to the GTX 580's pricing towards the end of our process. The GeForce GTX 580 is currently going for $499 online. The Radeon HD 5970 can be had now for $469.99 after $30 MIR. This is an excellent deal compared to past pricing, and we wanted to see how performance stacks up against the new GTX 580.

I don't think they're planning to address SLI in this patch. I think it's another month or two.

Really? What happened with the 6990?

eVGA Precision here, was indicating 800 ~ 900Mb on a 460 1024Mb. Curiously, it was showing that number for both my 460's (SLI)

:) it's really new card, article is older

Just tried a quick flight around London in a spit, max settings apart from in game AA, and with a GTX580 it appears to be using as much VRAM as it can grab hold of - started the flight at ~1420Mb, and crept up to ~1500Mb. It was a quick test, so I didn't check framerate or anything. I do have the "noSSAO" mod running, as well as a RAM drive setup - the flight was pretty smooth throughout, but there are still obvious stutters.

There's a particular set of fuel containers close to the shore on one of the bends of the Thames that when you shoot it it flattens buildings around it for a good few 100 meters - that really brings the fps down to a slideshow for a minute or so.

Specs, for those who want to know;

i920 @ 4Ghz
24Gb 1600MHz 9-9-9-25 2T
6Gb RAM drive with steam/CoD installation & 6Gb fancy cache
GTX580 1536Mb @ Stock

Trees and buildings still cause stutters, and for a decent flight while minimising (I've not had a completely stutter free flight, even on lowest settings) the stutters, I go for all max except buildings and trees on medium.

BTW, Triggaaar? Same Trig from clunk.org.uk?
