on my desktop when I run a game on xp I can run all setting on high. On
Vista that same game will run on medium or low settings. Same computer,
just setup a separate drive for Vista. So I am guessing that Vista uses
memory from the video card to run in the background and you now have less
for gaming.
The game I was using is Quake 4, btw I have a 128 meg nvidia card 6800gt.

Hi,

I currently have a sony vaio laptop with a Nvidia Geforce Go 6200
graphics
card. When I upgraded to Vista I began having problems playing games,
many
told me that I only have 32 mb of dedicated memory to my graphics card.
However, initially in XP the video card had 128 mb of dedicated memory.
Is
this simply a driver issue? If so what driver might I be able to
installed
that would fix this issue? Or is there a simpler solution to the
problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
