Post by: Mcclusky on July 30, 2012, 11:53:14 AM

Hi I have a HD4650 Card. I noticed that the Video Memory saids 1024M and Used 204. ...
Is this normal or can my card utituize more memory..WHen I go off line I get frame reates in the 30's.
I didnt yet subscript to AH. I'm going to upgrade my motherboard and add a eyefinity video card.
1. Can I utitize the video ram ?
2. What frame rates do you need on-line to enjoy the game.

Thanks, see you on battelfield

1. The video memory isn't reported properly, don't worry about what it says.

2. 60 FPS is good but some people fly with less.

The game has no control over how much video RAM is used.  For Windows XP, the value is accurate, for the onboard video RAM being used, but it will not reflect any shared video memory being used from the primary system RAM.

You can experiment with the settings, but you will probably want to keep "Bump Mapping" disabled, along with setting the "Maximum Texture Size" to 1024, or less. 

Some of the performance will also depend on the CPU and how loaded down it is.
