In game memory question

[j500ss]

I have noticed while in game my "vid memory is 2799 mb", and my "used" is anywhere from 3.0 to 5.2.

Seems from what I have read 2799 is high. Most talk about 128, 512, ect ect.  Even my dxdiag show as 2799. Would any of you have a idea as to why this would be? A squaddie says probably no big deal, and I believe him, just wondering why it would be like that.

FWIW, I run vista and my card is a 8500gt. Game runs ok, but I am still working on getting it better. I started out at around 27 fps and after several hours I am up to around 50 fps  .  With the help of several squaddies of course.  I just need to uninstall AH and reload to the new default path, and yes the 50 is with hires.

The game information doesn't always display accurate information. As your squadron members have mentioned, don't worry about it.

There is a bug with the video used memory at the moment.  It wil be fixed inthe next patch.  The total video memory should be accurate now.
