| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Confused about graphics card... so, I got a PC for christmas, a pretty decent one. But there is something I am confused about... the graphics card. It is an nvidia 9500 GS 512MB. Yea, 512MB but that doesn't explain why dxdiag says the graphics card has 1907MB. I assume that its using the RAM that the OS cannot use (32bit Vista) so, is this acually doing anything to the performance of the card. Or is it just for show, as if to say. Chris |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Confused about graphics card... Pretty much just for show. Its just using shared memory. That card is not very good for gaming so if you plan on doing a lot of it, I would highly suggest upgrading. |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: Confused about graphics card... I am planning to get the 9800GT BFG version in April. The 9500GS isnt that bad for gaming to be honest, I can play Oblivion, Bioshock, World at War and others at max settings with good FPS. But I am still upgrading, just for the even better gaming expirience :P |
