Ok, but there are supposedly variants with 1024 MiB of video memory as
well, which then creates a similar situation when someone wants to run
an application that requires 1024 MiB of video memory. More generally
speaking, for any card that has variants with different amounts of
video memory, there's a trade-off between potentially reporting more
memory than the card actually has and potentially reporting less
memory than the card actually has. I tend to think it's safer to err
on the side of reporting too much memory, so in that regard this is
fine, but the entire issue also just goes away when you use a driver
that supports GLX_MESA_query_renderer. Is your card not well supported
by Nouveau?
