    On my SLI 980M, these fields are all showing but why is it that they are greyed out for the 980 GTX (Desktop version)?

    have you tried HWinfo64? I think GPU-Z was only showing 4GB vRam for my gtx 980m, when in reality it has 8GB (confirmed in hwinfo64)

    Ahh so maybe it's GPU-Z not properly recognizing it, GPU-Z hasn't been updated in a long time anyway

    Because GPU-Z grabs rather little information actually from a card, but rather its database. The card is too new and they've not updated it and its sensors to work properly for it yet.

    And what "Desktop Version" are you talking about? That's the mobile card.

    Na, that is the Desktop GTX 980 version, the Sky X9 is based off Clevo P870DM-G, which has both desktop CPU and GPU

    It is the laptop version of the GTX 980. It is not the desktop GTX 980. The specs mirror the desktop 980, excepting the 8GB of vRAM, but it is a mobile GTX 980. Not to be confused with the GTX 980M. Because screw nVidia's naming because they're stupid.

    oh ok, thanks for the correction

    I see the actual desktop 980 GTX has only 4GB VRAM:

    Yeah. Its N16E-GXX instead of N16E-GX(980m). Its still a mobile card and thus insanely overpriced....
