Strange memory usage readings

[wrenaudrey]

So I upgraded to Windows10 like the majority of the people in here did. I updated to the latest Nvidia drivers at the same time too and also updated EVGA Precision and GPU-z at the same time.

So I always have monitoring programs on while im playing games and I noticed that the memory usage reading is proper odd.

Please look at the readings on both EVGA Precision X and GPU-z; the most right GPU-z window is the lower card and to the left is the top card.

This is while playing GTA5. I have never gone over 3GB of VRAM usage at any one time while playing GTA5 on the settings that i have on.

1. I dont have anywhere near 4GB of VRAM as you can see on PrecX
3. Everything is stock on the GPU's, never OC'd them
2. Why is it negative value on GPU-z

Does anybody know what's going on?
Both programs are up to date to the very very latest versions and also Nvidia drivers are on the latest.

There is a fair amout of windows 10 users finding abnormal memory usage or leakage.
This is partly why i will not adopt a new OS antill there has been a service pack released.
AS for gpu-z reporting incorrectly its more than likely a program incompatibility with windows 10 (wait for a gpu-z update to test further)
Like i mentioned above new OS's are buggy and early adoption's to them are going to find a minefield of bugs and gliches as its new software.
