Growing Irate with this Game

An even easier tool to monitor GPU Memory use is the 'GPU Observer' gadget for Win7. If it helps you set up your game so that it's only using video memory within your limit, then post the results and settings.

If the game needs over 1Gb of video memory to play on anything but low settings then that will be something the developer needs to look at, as the cheapest cards over 1Gb are about $250 in the US now, and probably a lot more elsewhere.

Thanks for the info guys. My 9800gt has only 512mb of vram--I did not consider that this might be the source of much of my trouble. Shows you what I know. Still, the card was a steal when I bought it and it has never failed me...until now. I will try GPU observer (half of my damn HD is taken up with Utilities now. What's one more?) as long as it's free.

Thanks Gryphon, I am a GPU-Z kind of guy but I will definitively try this one!
