Anti-aliasing is the smoothing of lines by using pixels with transition colors; basically it makes things look more realistic by smoothing and blending the lines, especially at lower resolutions. thank you : can you tell me how much lets say a typical opgrade to 2.3-2.5 cost?

acenator Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Woot!! I went into my computer's BIOS and was able to give my graphics card more RAM. \ It's a good thing I never really do anything that would require all my RAM to work. :P That's really not going to help much, the main problem is that system memory is far, far (as in several orders of magnitude) slower then onboard memory. Still, it could improve performance a bit... Jagex said they would allow you to adjust the detail and visible features on the new detail mode, so it may help those with weaker graphics cards tune down some of the settings while retaining the updated look. As far as I can tell, it was already using system memory. On the first page of the dxdiag, it had already stated that it only had 992 mb of RAM when I know for a fact that I have 1024 mb installed (2 sticks of 512 mb that I installed myself) and this decreased ajust as much as the graphics RAM increased. However, I do not know much about how all this works and I wouldn't be very surprised if I was wrong. > SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue > 0;0 rows returnedThere's no place like 127.0.0.1There are only 10 types of peoplein this world: those who understandbinary and those who don't.This statement is false.$DO || ! $DO ; trytry: command not found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your graphics card is using too much memory, the game will not be running as fast due to the lack of memory space available to the operating system. Newer graphics cards can do this on the fly.

Just something to watch out for next time you buy one. If you insist, a T7800 3.6 Ghz mobile processor compatible with your chipset would run around 400-600 dollars, would require professional installation unless you were a highly technical user comfortable with working inside your computer, and would probably not provide a noticeable performance boost unless you used benchmarking software. Be happy with your computer; its quite nice and should last a long time.

Tim Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 well because there no XP guide i went off my original knowledge: 2.4Ghz (for a 6year old computer i was shocked) 768Mb of RAM and a Raidon 9200 Graphics card. motherboards old but its running CoD2 fine for now. :pray: oh Lepp, i'd highly advise getting a better graphics for gaming purposes. onboard intel graphics cards are the worst thing i have ever used. i then managed to overpower imy Intel Extreme 1000 card and blow it up. =D> now im running a raidon 9200. i know mine isnt some macho system but my new laptop im ordering will [cabbage] all over this junk box im using at the moment. \ Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benar Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 True, but even if they had, a macbook can't have it's graphics card upgraded. So hopefully my computer will end up automatically "borrowing" from the main RAM to supplement the VRAM if it comes down to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
