Aqua Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I've been running on OSX86 instead of Windows for about a month now. I love it, but there is one thing that bothers me. My performance is significantly worse in World of Warcraft, and I can't enable shaders in the video settings. I'm not sure what the problem is with the pixel shader prob, but I'm almost positive that the performance issues are coming from the 64MB VRAM limit. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows how to raise the limit back up to 224MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what I did, but mine displays 256 MB of VRAM: Chipset Model: GMA 950 Type: VGA-Compatible Controller Bus: Built-In VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: Intel (0x8086) Device ID: 0x2772 Revision ID: 0x0002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqua Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Mine says 256MB as well, but I read somewhere that we're only limited to 64MB out of the 256MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
