I post it here as it was tested on the free demo version at my work....my license is on my private PC..
Here at work we have an FX5800 4GB....Octane doesn't show the available memory on the device manager...it says 0mb and does not show the different memory usage neither.
in revenge under the render viewport it shows the memory usage/0mb.... too much memory or a simple bug?

Most probably a bug. I have noticed the same on my own system, and some other posts speak about weird memory amount displayed.
