    Well, I understand the issue... that's the problem here. The problem is that I don't even know if they've taken this up with nVidia at all. I had no issues when I was running 186 drivers. Once I switched to the 190s is when the problem cropped up. That leads me to believe that Arma 2 does not play well with driver changes. So, we need to narrow down where the disconnect is here. Not just the VRAM detection, but how it detects the VRAM and how it decides to assign a certain value to that VRAM variable. I'm sure that the drivers themselves play a role in that.

    I have an ATI 4870 1GB and am having the same problems so I don't think contacting nvidia is the answer :) It is something arma 2 developers need to sort out!

    How long does it take from when you start the game until the glitches show up? I recently got a new PC with the same card, so far I haven't had any issues. Running with nearly every setting at "Very High" and the game was running great for the hour or two of gameplay I tried.

    I'm still running the Cat 9.5 drivers that were on the disc. When my internet connection is working propwerly I'll consider trying newer ones.

    Win7 64-bit, running the ArmA 2 beta patch.

    The issues are constant, they don't come and go like most other people seem to report. I've brought the card into work today and put it on an XP 32bit system and the game works fine. So I guess it must be an issue with Windows 7 drivers for the graphics card. I will try and find some earlier drivers like you suggested but its very frustrating! I have the latest from the ATI website at the moment. Where is the beta patch? I looked on the arma website last night and couldn't find anything newer than 1.03? http://www.arma2.com/support/updates/folder.html?lang=en

    When I get home I'll have to dig up my old drive with Win XP installed and give it a whirl on that. Least now I know I don't have a faulty graphics card I guess!
