Ah. Well, I remember you for some reason, lol

Fred - That they are, I only post when I have something worth posting, such as that VRAM explanation.

Monocle - I made impressions in strange ways. I was not gone, just I never post on the forums as explained in Fred's response. I play the game on and off now. I lurk a good bit though.

Some games like GTA4 actually limit you based on your dedicated VRAM.  1GB should be fine but I have a 768MB GTX460, and GTA4 won't let me put shadows on very high because of my VRAM limit.

You can force it.
I only have 1GB VRAM and I just use a command to force it.
It works just fine, it's just kinda weird because it will suddenly go into slow motion, not like a framerate drop, just it turns all slow motion-y for a second. It's weird. I think it's trying to get it from my slow hard drive and is weird.

Weird...

I'd rather not do that though, I don't like random slowmotion.

Holy stuff, that happens to me, but I don't need to force it, cause it allows me to.

Holy stuff, you're beachbum?

Anyway, on topic, you'd be better to get the 2GB version if you play a lot of high res games, or want future proofing.
However, list the GPU, cause if it's low end, it may not be worth it.

Yessirrrr. :3

Maybe it happens because at the moment I'm using 4GB of DDR2 800 RAM.
Originally clocked at 667.
I'm already saving up for a new mobo and 8GB of DDR3 1600 RAM, so I'll see if that stops the slow-mo effect.

I hope you plan on getting a new cpu too. If your old mobo can't handle ddr3, your rig is bottlenecked prob.
