Heya,
I'm looking to see if anyone out there has a GPU(s) running 2GB VRAM instead of the standard 1GB VRAM and also using 4 or more displays. I currently have an HD5850 with three 1080p LCD's attached, and a larger 4th 1080p LCD attached the motherboard's GPU (HD4200). Many times during things like video play back (Netflix, DVD's through VLC and Media Player) and other things like Pandora or various websites that are heavy on java/flash, seem to cause my theme in Windows 7 x64 to switch to `basic' and remove aero. It's very annoying. I check my resource manager and monitor it for when this happens and my system RAM is not being used hardly to the fullest (8GB, using like 2 something during all this use). CPU is a 4.0Ghz quad. So the last culprit is VRAM on the video card not able to manage all the desktop stuff in such a small amount. So I'm looking to see if anyone out there with a GPU setup with 2GB VRAM ever experiences this? I'd love to find a way to prevent this from happening and if it's a hardware thing due to too little VRAM, I'd get a 2GB VRAM GPU in here pronto.
Any suggestions?
Very best,
