nvidia-smi in Linux, for RTX 2060, outputs total memory = 5934 MiB = 5.79 Gb.
Is there a way to read the actual 6Gb value somewhere (for GPU model identification?)
Or are there several values that would add up to 6Gb?
The obvious hack is to ceil the 5.79, but I’m looking for better understanding.
Please be aware of the differences between
kiB/kB
MiB/MB
GiB/GB
Some of the vmem is always used by internal stuff like vbios which can’t be read and differs between driver versions/brands/whatever.
