Probs w/ ATI 9600
« 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?

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...
