Yes, it sure is 3gb. Here is the info I pulled early on from the Nvidia system info utility. Hope this helps you with your query. (Sorry for the odd spacing of characters though).

Question 2

Can this run watchdogs at ultra settings?

Accepted Answer

Haven't run watchdogs but it can run dota2 and wildstar at max settings just fine, if that gives you some indication

Question 3

Is the power supply really 500w?

Accepted Answer

fyi, if you are concerned about a warranty on your tower, there is a tamper-evident sticker on the back of the case. That said, if this were mine and not for a client, I'd pop it open and take a peek.

Question 4

While I'm really pleased with the system, I'm very displeased that it neither came with recovery media or any way to create it.  I really don't care what the rest of the companies are doing (as justification for not including medai). When you spend decent money on a system, it really should come with (at minimum) a way to create recovery & windows media with configs for the system. When this was done properly, you would receive the media, professionally made for those purposes. I see in the ref mats for this system that there is (optional) media except no "option" to get it. How can I obtain or create this media?

Accepted Answer

New owner here. I agree with the need for recovery options if/when things go wrong. Maybe I can help.

If your system came with windows 8 you can create a recovery drive (simply hit the start button and type "recovery"). This will cost you one USB of a certain minimum size so if you have an old 1GB usb drive lying around you can repurpose it as a recovery drive.

Alternatively you can do what I do and take the nuclear option. Create an image of the entire hard drive (using a free program like clonezilla) to store on a separate large external hard drive. Just be careful to pick the correct drives to image and write. This enables you to restore your entire hard drive exactly the way it was at the time of image creation. This method takes more time but it can recover from almost every problem, provided your physical parts are still ok.
