I'm interpreting it as everything for the GPU being in the same row. From left to right, the first line shows GPU temperature, utilization, fan speed, and clock speed. The next row is RAM speed and usage details. I'm not very experienced with AB, but I haven't seen screenshots that display only "total" RAM—just utilization or total available. So, it seems there are 8GB of RAM being used (at the bottom of the OSD), and any additional notes like speed would appear below that, right? It still looks like the top two lines focus on GPU information. But I'm not very familiar with AB.
The only part of that screenshot pertaining to system memory is the 8GB part.
The top is VRAM. GDDR5 is actually quad pumped as opposed to double pumped like desktop DDR. Regular DDR ( double data rate ) transmits information on the rising and falling edges of the clock cycle. GDDR ( graphics double data rate ) transmits 2 pieces of information on both the rising and falling edges of each clock cycle for a total of 4 per cycle.
Here's where it gets confusing.
😛
Some programs continue to read GDDR clocks at the base which in that case is 1750mhz. Some double it since it's sending 2 pieces of info per cycle so that's what you're seeing in that screen shot at 3500mhz. Some read the effective speed which in this case is 7000mhz.
So, TL;DR. That's a screen shot of a likely GTX 970, a CPU that's badly overheating and the computer has 8GB of RAM. Anything else he's either lying or clueless.
LPX means low profile. That's all.
