BIS please add more video memory options

[vasmkd 12]

Ok this is just a suggestion if possible

It seems alot of people are crashing when using "default" settings for video memory.

I think a way this could be fixed is to add extra video memory settings because it seems the game doesn't always recognize video cards properly that have over 512MB of vram.

Settings in game are:

Very low

Low

Normal - for graphics cards with 256 MB memory

High

Very High - for graphics card with 512 MB memory

Default - for graphic cards with over 512MB memory

Maybe adding extra options like what i have suggested below might stop alot of ppl crashing to desktop etc

ultra high -for graphic cards with 1024MB memory

extreme - for graphic cards with 2048MB memory

really? my GTX 275 used around 800 of its 876mb of ram, and my new GTX 470 uses almost all of its 1280mb,

i don't see a point. Texture loading to video ram iirc isn't exact

The numbers mentioned by the OP are the numbers for ArmA1. Not for ArmA2/OA.

The numbers I've been informed for ArmA2 and OA are:

256/320MB = LOW

512MB = NORMAL

896/1GB = HIGH

1-2GB = VHIGH or DEFAULT.

Default *should* work properly with virtually any amount of VRAM, since it is supposed to detect the correct amount available and use that.

Problem is my new GTX 460 1GB crashesto desktop on default in less than 10 seconds, doesn't recognise the right memory or something with latest nvidia drivers or previous ones.

Seems ok on very high which i thought was 512MB

My previous 8800GT 512MB card played best on very high

It would be nice to have an option/switch to push video memory into system memory (FSX can do this). Then people with a lot of system memory could use it.
