Which ways are there for me to determine the amount of memory (GRAM) my graphics card has?

Let's suppose I have an Nvidia Quadro FX1800.

The OS can be Windows or Linux, there is no sticker on the card and I don't have the package anymore.

  On Windows, the easiest way would be to use dxdiag. Once you run the .exe you can go to the display tab, see the name of your graphics device, and the approximate total memory.

1. Identify memory using Google

This is the simplest approach, but isn't always accurate. There are many GPUs that come with different memory sizes. In the case of the FX1800 however there seems to be only one result. Nvidia's website shows the memory for each GPU under the "specifications" tab:

2. Linux solution - Nvidia GPUs only

This requires the use of the nvidia driver (and/or CUDA):

$ nvidia-smi



+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

| NVIDIA-SMI 396.45                 Driver Version: 396.45                    |

|-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+

| GPU  Name        Persistence-M| Bus-Id        Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr. ECC |

| Fan  Temp  Perf  Pwr:Usage/Cap|         Memory-Usage | GPU-Util  Compute M. |

|===============================+======================+======================|

|   0  GeForce GTX 660     Off  | 00000000:01:00.0 N/A |                  N/A |

| 38%   55C    P2    N/A /  N/A |   1260MiB /  1991MiB |     N/A      Default |

+-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+

In the second column it says 1260MiB / 1991MiB - 1991MiB being your GPU's RAM.

3. Linux solution - All GPUs

This works for all kinds of GPUs, as long as you use xorg/xserver:

grep -i --color memory /var/log/Xorg.0.log

This command will query the xorg server-log for your GPU's memory information:

[    24.636] (--) NVIDIA(0): Memory: 2097152 kBytes

[    24.724] (II) NVIDIA: Using 6144.00 MB of virtual memory for indirect memory

[    24.804] (==) NVIDIA(0): Disabling shared memory pixmaps

This tells us my GPU has 2097152 kBytes - So it's basically a 2GB Memory GPU.

4. Windows Powershell solution - All GPUs

This solution was originally suggested in a comment by HelpingHand.

To get results only for Nvidia GPUs, run the following command in a powershell window:

Get-WmiObject Win32_VideoController -filter "name like '%NVIDIA%'" | select AdapterRAM,@{Expression={$_.adapterram/1MB};label="MB"}

To get results for all graphic cards, the following command can be used:

Get-WmiObject Win32_VideoController | select name, AdapterRAM,@{Expression={$_.adapterram/1MB};label="MB"}

Of course you can also get your GPU's RAM under windows using the regular control panel, looking for "Display Adapter Properties" under System -> Display on Windows 10.
