Fangames, I think, are getting larger maybe, and some of the requirements are getting larger so it would (hopefully) be good to know how mucch memory your GPU has. If you vote please also find your overall system memory and add it on a post or something.CPU speed would be helpful too.

EDIT: This survey only works effectively assuming the GPU is not over/under clocked, since NORMALLY a graphics card with more memory is commonly faster.

96MB, but even with my screen at it's largest Size, 1440x900, and Graphics Quality at 16-Bit, it's only using 6MB right now.

Fangames maybe. I might just be thinking of minority but it (the poll) is still helpful to figure some things.

You must use an LCD TFTLCD or something. Does it use 6MB during the desktop or smply overall?

I don't really know but for future referance.

8 MB of Graphics Memory, 384 MB of RAM, and a 750 MHz processor.

I got this old computer on eBay, and it works. Though I'm definitely considering getting a better graphics card, preferably one that allows allotting RAM to graphics memory.

However, most fangames do run at 30-60 FPS for me. I'm sick and tired of hearing "your computer sucks; get a new one" when this one works fine.

never do this

unless you want a really ****ing slow card

there's a reason why graphics cards have their own memory

If that really does lower graphics memory usage then I should probably plug my laptop into my old LCD monitor.

I have 1gb of video RAM, but it should actually be 256mb.

Acer is stupid and forces 768mb of my normal RAM to be VRAM, so sadly I only have 1.25gb of normal RAM.
