Somatic Neuron Masterwork Productions Inc 26	Posted - 2013.01.02 22:14:00 - [1] - Quote So, apparently, EVE requires 128MB of dedicated display memory to work properly. After reviewing various sources out there on the interweb, I have run across at least one instance of an accusation that the big video chipset manufacturers have pressured the gaming companies to actively scan for dedicated memory above 64mb, as their competitor, Intel, has a dedicated memory setting of, typically, 64mb, thereby causing issues with whatever games you are playing. Even though I have nearly 2gb of display memory available, which is much more than my desktop's 785mb of display memory, my laptop graphics stop responding and resets on most session changes wherein the graphics changes (e.g. undocking, jumping through a gate, jumping to a cyno, et.al.). I would hope that the accusation isn't true, and that CCP has a good reason for not using your available display memory and instead require a set amount of dedicated memory. If there is not a good reason to require a minimum amount of dedicated display memory, and you have succumbed to the pressures of the chipset makers, please reconsider your stance and allow those of us that have sufficient total video memory to utilize EVE-Online's graphics as everyone else can. Thanks.

You also state that the game requires 128 mb dedicated to run correctly but the graphics circuit onboard your Intel chip caps at 64 mb dedicated, so it seems to me you already know you are running below what the game needs to work correctly so I'm not sure understand what your problem is. My point, is that I have almost 2gb of display memory available...who cares what amount is "dedicated" as long as at least 128mb is always available (which it is, by far).
