dsamlk 10 Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) I have a problem where I cannot change the video memory setting higher then normal, the "high" and "Very High" doesn't show at all nor does "Default". Some of the other setting are the same, can't get them higher then normal, all of this making it look like crap ingame. What to do? I have already tried setting Launch options to -winxp and setting the .exe to the same, but no difference. Specs: XFX Nvidia 8800 GTX xXx Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P AMD Phenom II X4 810 Quad Core 8Gb Corsair DDR3 1333MHz Using the latest Nvidia driver v.186.18 Edited June 30, 2009 by dsamlk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check it out by running "dxdiag.exe" from your "RUN" menue. This seems to be a driver issue with any driver newer than 182.50. Solutions are a) older driver or b) limit your ram in MSCONFIG. Search this forum for "8GB problem" for more info. Edited December 31, 2009 by qwertz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skeptic 10 Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Please read this thread first. Try adding -maxmem= switch to the shortcut and test values of 2047, 1024 and 512. See if that helps. Edited June 30, 2009 by Skeptic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See if that helps. Only made it worse. The background, in the menu section, turned upside down showing me only the water and nothing beneth =/. Most random. Thank you for trying thou, would apprechiate more help. ---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ---------- You have the 8GB problem - basically using to much RAM causes the nvidia driver to only detect ~400 MB in VRAM.

Search this forum for "8GB problem" for more info. Older Driver fixed the problem, don't know why but as you said. With the latest version of the Nvidias drivers - 186.18 - it sets my Video Memory size to 212MB when it should stand at 2791MB. This seems to be something wrong with the Nvidia drivers/8GB Memory problem(Microsoft). Don't think it's something BIStudios have to worry about. Tyvm for the help.
