yep, just did like someone in another forum suggested.

This is what GPU-Z reports:

Bus width: 256 bit
Bandwidth: 128.0 GB/s

I'm feeling mislead..or maybe I'm a n00b? Confused

Bandwidth of a video card should be according to:

Effective Speed (MHz) x Memory Bus width (Bits) = Bandwidth (Mbps)

i7 6700k @ 4.4 GHZ, 2060s, 16 GB RAM, SSD, Windows 10x64.

The bus width of all 5850 cards is 256bit. GPU-Z is a reliable tool and if it shows a 256bit bus then it is in reality so.
