Hey guys, when I run the program dxdiag, it says this... for my video card

Name: ATI RADEON9800

Approx. Total Memory: 128MB.

Now when I run EAsy Info, it says this..

Description: ATI RADEON9800

Local Memory 256.00

What gives?

Mine always say 512 MB

Sapphire Radeon X600 Pro 256 MB

EAsyinfo is the diagonistic computer check that EA has w/ Battlefield to check if your computer can play the game or not... Other game diagonistic checks say my card is 512 MB, not 256 MB.

RMC and go into video properties/settings/advanced and then monitor? adapter? somewhere in there should bring up your video card properties

same here I guess if you have 128mb, it will come out as 256mb; and if you have 256mb it will come out with 512mb and so forth. Probably another mistake EA has made.

It isn't just EA, LucasArts had that situation too... I don't trust any game maker's diagnostic checks... ever... Let go check what Windows say.

it's probabely due to the fact that the gfx has 2 connectors so the diagnostics sees 2 gfx cards (look in the windows manager). Then it just adds the 2 cards together. voila!
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

ahh yes, the same reason that it shows up as two separate cards for some reason (primary/seconary) in windows desktop properties.
