So i'm running along with a 6 year old computer, runs fine, does it jobs well
and i was bloody surprised i could even run Rome 2 and even more so as beautifully as it did
But ofc Rome2 has its flaws, which made me take a harder look at my rig, and i noticed something, that ive been trying to get some clarification on, and Toms Hardware always seem to be able to help me understand learn or fix something
i have a 1gb graphic card(wont mention the name coz you'll just laugh)
and i have 8gb of ram in my computer
but i have noticed than when i go to my video settings it only displays an additional 3gb besides the 1gb card
making my complete shared graphics memory a total of only 4gb
shouldnt it be higher?
i know 1gb +8 gb wont be what it uses/shows since the system and such uses it fair share,.. but only 4gb? of which the Dram is only 3..
back then i chose vista 64 bit specifically to get over the 4gb memory limit, and thought that would apply to the shared memory too, giving my like 6gb or maybe even 7gb shared, but thats clearly not the case
so i wonder if that is just how it is/should be? or if there is a way i can get around that/tweak it/correct it/make it better
(if a solution is possible and requires more than average pc modification, plz be as detailed as possible since im not that tech savy,)
thx for any replies
