As i said. Story is DoW 2 is breaking on me THQ wanted me to send a dxdiag when i noticed something. My card is listed as having apporox 244MB of RAM

Yes 244mb not 256mb :/

Which is confusing as it should be a 512mb card

So yes if anyone has solutions to fix or reason how this may of happened i;d like to hear them.



ALSO it may mean i need to consider a new card entirely move up to Directx11 cards etc with 1 GB ram

Normally an ATI kinda guy but im easy either way with reasoning!

thank you in advance for any help.

As always, the first step is to make sure you have the latest drivers.

Try grabbing a GPU RAM testing program and letting that give your card the once over before buying a new one.
