Hello every one. I just bought a new PC for the purpose of running ARMA2 and Red Orchestra 2 HOS, with the intent to run ARMA3 in the future(realizing I may need to upgrade some hardware for this).
My system specs are in my sig. The question or concern I have is with my GPU ram. My PC came with a AT HD 6770 1GB. I went to System Requirements Labs to see what games I could run. To my great disappointment it said I only meet the minimum requirements for both games I stated above. Everything passes except my GPU, it say I only have 744.6 MB of Ram. Anybody have an idea why it would detects it this way ? How can I bring up my specs on my PC to compare ? Can I dedicate more ram to the graphics ?

Thanks for any help

Hi, I would load up GPU-Z and see what Graphics card and memory it reports..

You could also try a different browser but I dont see that helping..

I used GPU-Z as well as System info within windows. Both detect HD 6770 1GB. I actually went into the PC and took out the GPU to look at it, there was no identifying mark.

I suppose System Requ. Labs is incorrect. But damn it, I wanted to see passing grades sigh
