Help, GTX 1080 owners...

[FlyBaby 659]

I have Windows 7 and recently purchased a GTX 1080 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487252). My "system specs" and Intel "Extreme Tuning utility" only show 4 GB memory for this GPU, when it should have 8GB.

 

Is there a limit as to what Windows 7 can read or do i have a bad card?

Maybe your ETU is not up to date to read the newest card??

What do the nVidia specs say when you open the nVidia control panel. Also You will come across these sorts of things using an old OS with new hardware. Any reason you did not update to Windows 10 yet? You are also aware that any new DX12 games that may come out are not supported on Windows 7.

Shouldnt be an OS issue since its the driver that does the work. As mentioned bevore, open nvida contol panel and see what it says . or download and insatll teh latest drivers.
