You must convert a floating value to a string (e.g.):
Format('%.1n',[GetDirectXVersion(Dx_Sys)]);

Your drivers are installed properly, instead Pakrat must install the drivers properly!

Uninstalled rebooted & reinstalled now displays 8GB properly. Really strange as I had used driver uninstaller before I installed new card ??

It is always a good idea to uninstall old drivers with new gpu

Okay, if i understand right, pakrat must reinstall drivers to get rid of the problem.

Thanks-

I thought I had but I guess not good enough. Thanks for the program.

Might be slightly in the off topic zone, but here's my two cents.

If you're going to update your display driver, the best practice is to NOT update it over your existing installation.

Simply uninstall your current display driver, Reboot, then install the newer/latest driver.

In case you're having issues with a certain display driver, you may want to uninstall your existing driver installation first from the add/remove programs, then grab the latest version of DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller by Wagnard) and let it reboot into safe mode (this tool allows you to do it) and clear out the registry remains that every driver installation leaves behind. This is essential if you want to clean install your drivers. Once DDU is done clearing out the remains of the previous driver, select restart from within DDU, it'll boot you back into normal mode, and install the latest driver as you'd normally do.

Just uninstalling and installing the latest update let's you use your customized profile/settings for games you may have done, which can cause conflicts at times as drivers have many branches of development and a certain branch may not be fully compatible with your customization. The clean install method ensures that this doesn't happen.

thanks already fixed, but handy to have info, if anyone else runs into issues.
