Willz · 27-12-2006, 06:29 PM

Whats the one after RC2 called?

izzy007 · 27-12-2006, 06:34 PM

i think that the memory is used that mcuh becoz the graphics card has turbo cache and uses 383meg. how do i turn it off. i guess i'll have to DL the latest drivers and they should have an option there.

Willz · 27-12-2006, 06:53 PM

Just buy a new Graphics card lol

NeloForster · 27-12-2006, 07:10 PM

Q. Can I turn TurboCache off?

Because TurboCache is integral to the Quadro NVS 285 GPU, it can not be turned off.

I'm assuming it applies to all GPU cores

From the NVIDIA website. Sorry pal :/

Willz · 27-12-2006, 07:31 PM

ALL GPU's dont have turbocatch, just low end Nvidia GPU's.

Matt555 · 27-12-2006, 07:37 PM

Turbocache refers to a small amount of high-speed memory on the card, rather than having the card use all system memory it uses system memory as the most memory for the graphics but it has a small amount of faster memory on the card itself (often something like 16 / 32MB) to keep costs down but boost performance a little.

Willz · 27-12-2006, 07:38 PM

Dont know why they bother with it, there not good for gaming..

Also izzy, were did you get the latest version of Vista from?
