And why would ATI sell that card saying it has 2 gig when you only can use 1 gig anyways?

I have 5970 2gb too and same 51%

But this is truth, games only use that 1gb, maybe rof laucher see that 2gb wrong way, my rof is totally smooth with full settings.

What does GPU-Z says when you run a(nother) game? In second tab it will show how much video ram is used.
