graphics card problems
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. |

Dingo,
I am currently running Vista Business. The graphics card should have 128 mb of dedicated memory, at least it did when I was running XP pro. Thanks for the help.

graphics card problems
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.
