Hello everyone!
Adrian's Rojak Pot has just posted the Video RAM Caching guide! The entire guide examines that controversial Video RAM Cacheable feature in the BIOS. The motherboard manufacturers recommend enabling it. But should you? Well, check it out and find out!
This 13-page guide not only discusses the theoretical implications of enabling or disabling the feature, it also proves the validity (or otherwise) of enabling the feature with benchmarks! This means we have the results to back up our theories. Here, check out this snip :-
"What's this BIOS option for? Well, according to the manuals, this feature enables or disables the caching of the video RAM at A0000h-AFFFFh region via the L2 cache. This is supposed to significantly speed up accesses to the video RAM. However, will the caching of this small 64KB region actually boost the performance of the graphics card and the system overall? Let's examine the theoretical aspect first :-"
