Hello everyone,

first of all I must say that Total Segmentor is a game changer with it’s fast segmentation. GREAT JOB!!!

Second, I have a question… I have NVidia GTX 1060 graphic card with GPU memory 13.9 GB as in the pic1.

But when I start the segmentation it says that I need to change to “fast” mode because my computer has less than 7 GB GPU, although the integrated card has memory of 7.9 GB GPU, also.

What I have to change? I tried to set my settings that the Slicer app uses GPU and the same note showed…

Hello,

The GTX 1060 has in fact [6 GB VRAM](https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1060-6-gb.c2862#:~:text=NVIDIA%20has%20paired%206%20GB,MHz%20(8%20Gbps%20effective).) so the message is true. It´s also in your screenshot - see dedicated video memory.

You can check it with the NVIDIA Control Panel.
