Find out the memory type of an AMD GPU


Hi,

I'm trying to find out if the VRAM on my graphics card is Samsung or micron.

I have CPU-X, glxinfo, and hardinfo installed but neither seem to tell me about the memory type. CPU-X tells me that the model is:

Code:
 Navi 22 [Radeon RX 6700/6700 XT/6750 XT/6800M/6850M XT]
but I don't see anything about the memory vendor.

I want to know if it's possible to find out the memory manufacturer without opening up my tower on Linux. I have seen that, at least for NVIDA cards, it's not possible on Linux and that GPU-Z is really the only way to find out. But I want to avoid using Wine if possible.

With some memory types it may be possible using inxi -ma or dmidecode -t memory

Thanks for responding mrmazda.

I tried those commands and even used

Code:
inxi -xxxG
but neither display the memory type of my AMD graphics card.

-xxx is just a subset of -a for inxi. I think inxi uses dmidecode to get whatever memory chip information is available. Opening up the case may be no help, as memory chips are often hiding under a heat sink.
