Just out of curiosity, why doesn't the game use all available video memory to cache skin textures?

Perhaps because it don't need all the mem

I set textures to 1024, and received a warning about my vid card being low on memory. I switched it back, but I was still only around half my cards memory from the display on top o the screen. 9800XT

I have a 128mb Radeon 9800 pro, at 512 textures it was using approx 105mb of memory.
Using 1024 textures its now using approx 115mb of video memory.

It makes a difference how you have your card setup, personally i am using 4 AA and 8 AF and all settings in game at max and 1600 res.

In video driver setup again all settings at max quality.
