GTX 950, GTX 960 segmented ram systems as well ?
One question which needs explanation:
If the cores/SSM are truely hardwired to their own offsets, then how is it possible for a defective chip to still function with 3.5 GB ram ? If SSM units fall out/are defective... and this can happen anywhere.. then this would create gaps, example: 0,1,2,3,X,5,6,X,8,9,10,11,12,X,14,15 I randomly disabled some SSM units indicated by X. The solution seems simple enough: Disable memory chips which are associated/hard-wired to X. And allocate memory in such a way that these gaps are avoided ? Perhaps this is what is going on internally in the driver or so. Bye, Skybuck. |

Gave us: I post on thread on this on geforce forum but it mysteriously disappeared... other delete or again a forum bug. You're an idiot. The NVidia forum is the ONLY forum you should have posted your inane question to. |

Hello, Here is a truely computer architectural question for you: Do NVIDIA's Graphics Cards/Chips models GTX 950 and GTX 960 have segmented memory models as well ? Just like the GTX 970 ? Good question; I haven't looked into it, but maybe they learned from their "mistake" on the 970 and changed the design a little? I'd google a little for you, but since the 980Ti came out, making the plain 980 more affordable, I haven't looked at anything else. Still like to get to the bottom of this since I may be interested in a new graphics card now or in the future. I ask people to run my benchmark at this site: http://www.skybuck.org/CUDA/Bandwidt...200.16/Packed/ Downoad and extract it to a folder on file system, then run the B32 or B64 executable on respecitively 32 bit or 64 bit operating system. I don't think a lot of people will run it, what with security and all; could be a virus, lol ;-) [snip] -- ! _\|/_ Sylvain / !

The rest is doubtfull... even the Titan X can cause troubles with not enough main system ram. NVIDIA will have to step up and be more forth coming with these kinds of problems. Also seeing CUDA not being able to allocate all RAM is highly suspicious ! Gonna wait this one out until things become more clear or new products... As far as GTX brand is concerned it's damage beyond repair. Still like to get to the bottom of this since I may be interested in a new graphics card now or in the future.

Perhaps there should be some chain of trust for independant software.. a little bit like the www.thepiratebay.org Anyway for the fun of it I ran it through virus scan total... funny enough it was already scanned a couple of months ago or so... had it re-analyzed. It comes up clean ! Pfew ! https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/8...is/1443736205/ Bye, Skybuck. |
