Description dirleyjordan 2024-06-27 16:19:22 UTC 
SUMMARY
The GPU "Total Video Memory" sensor reports the sum of the VRAM and system RAM when resizeable BAR is enabled.
For example, my desktop has 32GB of RAM and a GPU with 24GB VRAM. I expected the "Total Video Memory" sensor to report 24GB but it instead reports 56GB.

For NVidia, we rely on data from `nvidia-smi` for these values. You may want to run that directly to see what it reports, but presumably that reports the total memory incorrectly.

I thought that was the case but nvidia-smi actually does report it correctly oddly enough.
