It may be prudent to display how much memory on the gpu is not being used by the OS and thus is available for testing. Obviously testing all the memory that is not currently in use will generate errors. So it may also be wise to recommend how much memory to test based on how much is currently available.
I understand an exact value is very difficult to determine, as a "pre-test" will probably have to be run to find out this information. So, an approximation would be adequate.
For example, I have a 9800GT with 512 MB of memory. 400MB of this memory is available and not in use by the operating system. MemtestG80 may recommend that 80% of the available memory be tested, and would output:
"Available memory: Approximately ~400MB"
"Recommend testing 320MB" |
