Title: Turbo cash off?
Post by: Link on June 30, 2008, 05:28:13 PM
Ok my graphics card has this annoying thing that doubles the amount of RAM it's got from 1gig to 2gig by using a gig of my ram, but i dont want it on.

Anyone know how to turn it off?

Turbo Cache*

And you can't disable it. Turbocache is basically shit, and graphics cards that use it are shit.

PCI Express has high bandwidth (4 GB/s on x16), yes, but NOT in terms of graphics card memory bandwidth. Typical new graphics cards have ten to twenty times that or even over 100GB/s from the core to the framebuffer.

Either upgrade your card or live with it pretty much. A radeon 4850 is the sweet spot right now, it wipes the floor with the old 8800GT for the same price.
