NVIDIA usable memory 4GB instead of 6GB?
I have an NVIDIA 1060 with 6GB of memory in my laptop.
I am on Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon 64-bit with NVIDIA drivers version 390 official:
You can see for yourself, but I know that from Dell support, I have been assured on Windows there shall be no problem, well on Linux, they don't know. Sigh ...
I used the following command to get the whole output of dmesg (just pressed Ctrl+c afterwards):
dmesg --human --color=always --ctime --follow > vlastimil-dmesg.log 2>&1
It is available on my hosting temporarily, will delete it probably later on: click to download.
Please check SHA-1 hash sum for your protection:
d670f6b883147ad919bb3d341d3c679493189d3f vlastimil-dmesg.log.xz
There, I incidentally found, I quote:
[Sat Feb 9 15:25:28 2019] [drm] Memory usable by graphics device = 4096M
What is that? Is that a fact or could it be a mistake?
I play games on this device, so it really matters. Thanks for any hints.
