B.Ob. Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Video RAM - how much do you really need? "Ah, the good old days of 4MB of EDO DRAM. Amazing that ten years of development have made it utterly useless - the main menu screen of Crysis needs 20x that amount of VRAM alone."

I started playing the first Tomb Raider on a 2Mb Trident card and it was like night and day when I went to a 4Mb S3 ViRGE/DX and then for Tomb Radier 2 I switched to a 8Mb Number 9 Revolution 3D AGP card. :harhar: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckett Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 You know, I think I've still got a Voodoo 2 Upgrade card laying around....12MB PCI jumper card that just boosted the RAM on your current video card. I used that with a Vanta32 4MB AGP 2x....talk about sweet graphics! :harhar: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
