Ran Napoleon total war everything was fine
Installed SH5 after was installed the my computer specs came up to compare them to what was needed to play the game.
This is what it displayed.
It only registers 2Gb of RAM when i actually have 6Gb. Also it only shows 1Gb of Gpu memory when my card has 2Gb.
When i run the game the intro runs fine but when the game menu comes up it is barely visible and very dark and distorted. I think it is a Graphic driver issue. Is anyone here running the 10.2 drivers? If so are you having any difficulties?
Also i was wondering if the fact that the game is not detecting the right of RAM and GPU RAM could be causing the problem.
Any help to get me back up and running would be greatly appreciated .

I wouldn't worry about what that utility displays, it's something standalone. Maybe it has trouble with triple-channel or something.
It's actually detecting your VRAM correctly: yes the card has 2GB, but it's also in effect 2 cards. Each card only has 1GB available, so you still have 1GB VRAM effectively. Applies to any dual-GPU card or SLI/Crossfire setup.
Think the problem is the dual-GPU. Try running it in a "single-card" mode, if such a thing is possible for ATI dual-GPU cards.
