EVGA GTX 1070 GPU's shows as only 4GB GDDR5 Memory

The Topic header is basically the question in itself. The NVIDIA Control Panel says it has 8GB GDDR5 RAM, as well as Windows itself. Some 1080 owners reports the same on various tech forums. 

 

So something has to be wrong here, hopefully the Speccy developer team are actively working on this & will find a solution. :)

nope, just slow on updates.

I take it you're a mod but not a dev? You had me hopeful for a moment. I updated from 1.31.732 to 1.32.740. My 1080 Ti is still being reported as having 3071MB. If it looks like a duck & quacks like a duck, it is a duck. This is a very old bug & it isn't hard to track down or fix such issues (the cause is obviously down to an overflow as somewhere an assumption is being made that gfx memory won't report such a large value).

If you're not in a position to help actually fix the issue please feed back to the developer that the issue exists & won't fix itself.

as you are aware, yes, it's a long, looonng, running problem with Speccy, AND SSD's being reported wrongly, AND motherboard temperatures showing as alarmingly high.
it's at the point that I am starting to feel how any of Speccy's data can be used reliably.

and yep, we are only Mods, not Devs, and have simply the extra task on the forum of enforcing rules and bringing these issues to the eyes of the Admin team.
