mapped by the graphics driver. Some of those is real memory, some are registers and are entirely virtual - there isn't any physical DRAM backing them. These aren't all the regions exposed by video card, because if multiple apps write to video card register directly it will lock up hard, freezing PCIe bus. Instead, this is arbitrated by the kernel driver. best Vladimir Dergachev
