Hi, I am using a Radeon R5 230 graphics card (Caicos, 1 GB) on my FreeBSD 11 system. I was trying to ascertain whether the system recognizes the card as a 1 GB card. Here's a couple of snips I get. dmesg | grep -i radeon : info: [drm] radeon: 1024M of VRAM memory ready info: [drm] radeon: 512M of GTT memory ready. dmesg | grep -iE '(vgapci)|(caicos)' : vgapci0: <VGA-compatible display> port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem 0xc0000000-0xcfffffff,0xfea20000-0xfea3ffff irq 24 at device 0.0 on pci1 drmn0: <Caicos [Radeon HD 6450]> on vgapci0 info: [drm] initializing kernel modesetting (CAICOS 0x1002:0x6779 0x174B:0xA004). Questions : a) Is the above sufficient proof that the card is working as a 1 GB device ? It's not easy for me to make this out by myself. b) Are the terms 'graphics memory' and 'video memory' the same ? I ask this because booting from UBCD (Linux) on my computer, I vaguely remember/think I got to see 16 MB stated somewhere as the size of video memory. Thanks for any assistance Manish Jain
