It appears that the client is detecting the video card as a 256mb card when it is a 512mb card. Any ideas why?

Is it a real physical card with that much memory on it, or is it an (embedded) on the motherboard chip, with 256MB RAM immediately on the chip and you're able to increase the memory from your computer's physical memory?


Physical card with 512MB, nothing added from system memory.

If you need anything further just ask.
