Not Enough VRAM?? What The??

[Daniel-Man]

I bought my latest computer almost 10 months ago and had a new Geforce 4 MX 440 with AGP8X card put in it. I just installed a new game called Silent Hill 4 which is DVD size and it's saying that there is not a minimum of 32MB of VRAM on my computer?? What the hell is this and howcome my card doesn't have it???????

Sounds like the game is not properly recognizing your video card. I know that vid card, and if I'm not mistaken, you should have 128MB of VRAM on that thing, so my first guess is that you need to update your vid drivers. Go to NVidia's site (www.nvidia.com/drivers) and DL the latest drivers for your system.

Click on "Graphics Driver", then "GeForce and TNT2", then which ever OS you have.

I'm wondering, tho, does this so-called warning message prevent you from playing the game?

Yes, it prevents me from playing the game. I also installed a game called The Suffering aswell. The introductory animations worked fine, and the menu seemed to work fine, however when I started a new game everything was all weird, like a thousand geometric triangles had collapsed and been placed in front of what would be the normal game. I'll try updating my drivers as you said, and see how it goes, thanks.

I think I have found the solution. My card won't let me play the game cause it sucks!!! Can someone please explain THIS to me!!!!!!!!! : http://www.konami.com/main/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=000020
