My video ram isnt sufficient to play assassin's creed, but all else is fine.Help

Any way I can get around this (Increase my video RAM)without a new graphics card? ( I'm using onboard graphics)

Thanks!!

Any specs? Laptop or desktop? You will probably want a new GPU either way if what is limiting you from playinh AC is vram.

Buy a dedicated GPU.

In the old days you could. Now nope.

tell us your system though, it sounds like you don't have a lot of system ram, which is what your integrated graphics is taking its ram from.

I really don't think a system with onboard graphics is going to get a decent framerate with assassin's creed. Especially if it's only got 1 gb regular ram, too. I've played Assassin's creed on my laptop, which has an i5 dual core cpu, 4gb RAM, and a Mobility Radeon HD 4670 with 1gb VRAM, and it runs damn near perfect, but even with that it slows down when there gets to be a lot going on.

Oh yeah, and as for upgrading. Are you using a laptop or a desktop? If it's a laptop, you're out of luck. Desktop, then what's your processor? If it's halway decent, then it might be worthwhile to get a real video card and maybe another gb of RAM, but if you've got some cheap office pc CPU, you'd probably be better off just starting from scratch and building a low-medium range PC, if you really want to get into gaming.

you have to buy a dedicated graphics card, that's the solution

1GB of ram is not good enough for gaming on windows 7 or Vista.

Onboard graphics is terrible for every game.

back in the olden days, u COULD allocate more system ram to the onboard graphics, but this was the day of choosing 32 or 64 or 128mb.....more sytem ram will help offset waht ur onboard is stealing but the best way is to list ur specs here in super detail so the crew can suggest upgrade paths.

is it even possible to play games like that with onboard graphics?LP4EVA2005

Sorry but you're going to want a dedicated GPU. More RAM would'nt hurt either.

Or an entirely new computer:P

Honestly, a 7750 would be a huge jump for this guy, no reason to drop more than about 100 bucks on a video card

Yeah especially with a core 2 duo.

wait, so a core 2 duo is a good proceesor? isnt it a bit dated for a desktop?CD_freakazoid

No I mean a 560 would make that core 2 duo an even bigger bottleneck.

No I mean a 560 would make that core 2 duo an even bigger bottleneck.

a core 2 duo is still considered alright

But a 560 would be overkill if you weren't planning on upgrading the cpu any time soon.

If all you are going to do is get some ram and a gpu, just get a 7750, if you plan on upgrading your cpu within 6 months get a 560
