It's my 64mb graphics card more than anything. I can run higher end things sometimes. Fallout New Vegas runs with a playable framerate...but theHunter is too choppy.

Holy cow! 64 MB gfx board? You could have known in advance that it would not run reasonably, the minimum specs they give list an nVidia Geforce 8800 with 512 MB or a Radeon HD 2400 with 256 MB - and most people would say that that are no minimum specs, but a joke. The game needs more.

Well the autodetect tool said i had 1760 mb of graphics memory.

It's hit and miss with my card. I tell you...I can run some things like Fallout, Dead Space, ArmA, IL-2, etc and they all require at least 512 mb usually.

It's weird. That's why I just gave it a shot.

That vid memory is not on-card memory, but shared memory with your regular RAM, or what? I never heard of a gfx card with 1760 MB of RAM, they are 512, 1 GB, 2GB, 3GB.

Holy cow! 64MB VRAM.

11 years ago I had a GeForce4 Ti4200 with 64MB VRAM.


Impressive that some newer games work.

No offence meant.


Yeah, sometimes it seems to add up VRAM and RAM memory. Noticed it happening in 32-bit OS. Haven't thought of it with 64-bit.

Yeah. Dedicated is 64mb but it says I also have 1760mb.

I can't make sense of it so I kinda just eyeball games and their system requirements. I've gotten to where I can pretty much tell if it's a yes, no or maybe. theHunter was a maybe so I tried it out.
