I remember a thread stating that with 8, Arma2 might not properly recognize/use the VRAM. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=73232 I have no clue what exactly those numbers in the config are (Kbytes or Bytes?) but you either have 5 GB or 5MB Vid Ram - both unlikely. So there's something wrong there. Some people are running it fine on that card: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=87924 Drop in there maybe.

LukeFF SimHQ Member Registered: 06/11/01 Posts: 4987 Loc: Riverside, California, USA	FYI, I have to use the -winxp parameter as well, as I'm running Win7 with 8GB of RAM. Until I added that parameter I was having the same problems as S_P. _________________________ "I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I cannot feel it.
