Title: Probs w/ ATI 9600
Post by: Balls on July 04, 2004, 12:47:30 PM

Hey foks,
Running an ATI 9600 128m.  When I check the card stats (Ctrl+I), I never seem to use more than a third of the vid mem.  I've updated all my drivers with little effect.  Can someone please help me with this problem.  

Gotta fix this, so I can fly!

That's normal.  Is there a problem that goes with this or are you just curious about the display numbers?

My framerates do suffer during large engagements and I was wondering if increasing the memory usage would improve it.  Is there anything else I can do.  Is there a better video card I should purchase?

System:
P2.4
1G Mem
9600 ATI 128m

You really should have no problems at all running AH2 on that setup...

No need to buy a new graphics card... i think you can do wonders djust by tweaking your system...

BALL's Have you tried skuzzy's tips? they are posted under help. Turn off programs you don't need running and performance will increase.
