codetvirus · 08-18-09

Hello!
My question is the next:
It is possible to assing all the vram(1gb) of the card instead od 512mb for play?
Recently i instaled Grand theft auto 4 in my computer then i niticed that only use the half of the vram and doesnt gives all the potential.
Thanks for your time and sorry for my bad english.

you're not using half the ram...you're using all of it

the 1GB is for the whole card, 512MB per GPU

SLI splits the work between the 2 GPU's, so you only get the 512MB effective vRAM on there

Yes i understand that.
I only want to know is that exist a way that a aplication in this case Grand theft auto 4, works with all the existing vram?
Thanks!

I just explained it...you can't use 1GB because it splits it in 2...you have only 512MB that can be used

Umm what a shame...
Im a little disapointed about my new card.
I cant really use all the potential. Better think in upgrade to a better card.
Any suggestion?

You are using all of its potential...
A better card? Maybe a 4890, GTX 275/280, etc .

I have overclock every core in 710Mhz and the memoy in 1110mhz.

Or its recomendable any other settings?
