December 24, 200817 yr When i bought my laptop online i coulda sworn it said "256mb" of Video Memory but when i went to check recently i got some different results The Upper-Left picture is from DXDIAG The Upper-Right picture is from my ATI Catalyst Control Center The bottom picture is from my System Information Which one is the right one? If it helps, i have 2gb of Physical Memory Thanks, and merry christmas :thumbsup:
December 24, 200817 yr You're getting a higher result because your GPU can share RAM with your computer, and so more RAM is actually available than came with your GPU.
December 24, 200817 yr Author So essentially i can run games that require up to 830mb? or the 128mb. :?
December 25, 200817 yr The 128MB appears to me to be the actual amount. Just be careful about running anything that goes upward of that, and you'll be fine. :thumbsup: ~D. V. "Caution is best."

December 25, 200817 yr The 128mb is dedicated for your graphics card whereas the rest is shared from your system RAM. Dedicated graphics memory beats the pants off shared memory, so the higher dedicated memory you can get, the better. [Tip.It Mod][Retired][Add your Steam name here!]
