What Do I Update?

Ulquiorra Schiffer · 06-09-2009, 06:19 PM

Something has caused my graphics memory to reduce from 3GB to 400MB. I know this because it only started happening after a update. I remember a Nvidia update was somewhere on the list, so that could've messed it up. The right clicking delay is also very annoying, and I have to wait 5 seconds. Should I hide the updates I'm unsure about and just install updates that have something to do with Microsoft Windows?

Maybe I will just follow my own advice...

You could try and uninstall the updates that were installed and see if it does the same thing. If it does, you could try and install all of them except the Nvidia update and see if it does it then.

Your Graphics Memory from 3GB to 400MB? How are you figuring this? Just looking at your sig it says you have 2 GTX280's and they each have 1GB of memory so that's 2GB not 3GB. What are you using to monitor this graphic memory usage?

Updates, from Windows Update? Install all the recommended updates, the optional updates are up to you. I install everything and I'm still fast as lightning

Patience is a virtue...you only posted an hour ago... We're not being paid for this.

Try a restore point? Try uninstalling/reinstalling graphics drivers?

Um, it says 3GB in dxdiag... so...

And I just restored it to before. I guess I'll just manually update my drivers instead of depending on Windows Update.

IT says its 3GB in dxdiag for me too... Must be a glitch with how it reads the cards. Check what it really is with GPU-Z.

Yep, two 1GB cards. Total 2GB, so something is wrong with dxdiag. Anyways, I just restored and downloaded the update from Windows Update again for Nvidia only. And yep, before it even installed, I found out that is was the Nvidia update's fault. Guess I'll just hide it from now on and manually update it from the Nvidia site.
