i just have one question for u, did u uninstall all the nvidia files with driver cleaner, u said u had a swap with the nvidia card, i would clean anything nvidia related, and i am sure u have all the games updated with the latest patch if not it could make a lot of diffrence as the drivers are coded for the latest patches of the games. i dont wanna tell u do a clean install because if i had too much on a system i wouldnt do it myself, uless i had another hard drive that i could put windows on and test it out.
Nope, not true. I am running Rivatuner hardware monitoring to show the GDDR usage, and I have it going to an LCD studio applet for my G15. In BF2142 it used 536 Mb of RAM on Minsk. I am running 16X af, 2X narrow tent aa (so that's 4x samples), maxed in game settings, and 1920*1080.
I can only imagine how much Crysis and Bioshock will use with these settings. I have the Bioshock demo DLing now, so we'll know soon.
