    I just used the blizzard system check tool that they make you run when signing up for betas, and it claims that my GPU has 719mb or video memory.. I tried dxdiag and it said the same. CPU-z says i have -1024mb.... Whats going on? The G74SX-RH71 should have 3gigs.

    I dont know if this is relevant, but im using 190.XX drivers.

    You really shouldn't be using such a ridiculously old driver with a relatively brand new GPU. That may be causing the incorrect readings.

    What does GPU-Z read though?

    It's a bug of DXDIAG, ignore it. You have 3GB.
