I like PC gaming. The "minimum requirements" of a game often it says that it requires at least a "128 MB video card." How do I figure out how many MB's my video card has?
My OS is a Windows XP Professional.
Thanks!|||Click on Start > All programs > Accessories > System tools > System Information > Components > Display.
Look for "Adapter RAM".|||if you buy any current video card available on the market it will have more that 128 mb|||Use GPU-Z, it will tell you everything you could ever want to know about your graphics card.|||Either by checking out the manufacturers website or by looking in control panel in windows.|||Go to your desktop and right click "My Computer" and go to "properties". When the window pops up click through the tabs until you see "Device Manager", can't remember what the tab name is off hand. When the device manager window pops up, you should see your computer name at the top and below it a list of the different components that make up your computer. You should see "Display Adapters" tab if you scroll down a bit. It should display your video card if you click it, and if you right click the video device name and hit properties it should tell you how much memory your card has and other details. If it doesn't look up the name like "NVidea GeForce 8700x" or whatever your card name is in google and you should find out that way.|||If you want to see the specific requirements of a certain game go to this website.

It tells you what you need to run it and what you have.|||go to run in the start menu and typ this dxdiag it will tell you everything about your system|||Start > Run
Then type "dxdiag" without the quotes.
Click the display tab, then you will then see "Approx. Total Memory:"
Since you are unaware of the memory of your card, it is likely that you did not purchase the card. If the computer was manufactured by a company such as Dell or HP, it is likely that the video card is integrated onto the motherboard. In this case, your video memory is shared with your system memory. Some newer computers when upgraded with memory dedicate more of that memory strictly to video.
Dependent on the game, you may be able to play it on lower graphic settings or upgrade your video card.|||im not sure but id like to know to so im keeping track of this question!
