I think I heard somewhere that it's because the actual card keeps like 3
pages in its own memory, and top doesn't understand that, or something
like that. I have the nvidia drivers too. If you look at your tottal
memory used, you can tell that top isn't reporting the X memory right
(at least I can on mine). I think the total memory used, free, etc. is
a much better indicator.
