Question

Video card question

Mar 5, 2015 9:32AM PST

I just built a new pc this week but having some trouble with my video card. Its a gtx 750ti and it works, there is video on the monitor, but even after I installed the drivers for it on the cd, the games I try to install say it does not have enough video ram (<128mb) to support them when it should have 2gb. I tried reinstalling the drivers a few times, taking the card out of the pcie slot and putting it back...is there anything im possibly forgetting to do with it to make it recognize the video ram?

Order?

Driver install order? I install the OS, then motherboard drivers then audio, LAN, video and such. If you skipped the motherboard drivers it may do what you noted.

That is a possibility, I know I installed both the mobo and gpu drivers, but not sure which I did first

I've got it out of order long ago.

Try installing the motherboard drivers again, reboot and see what happens.

I recall an issue with 32 bit windows. Fix? Install 64 bit windows.

Turns out the CD driver that comes with the card was out of date, I had to go to the nvidia website to download the current drivers. Now the card is being fully recognized!
