I downloaded the Arx Fatalis demo ( :D ), and I have no idea which video card I have. The one I tried left me with a background and no characters, except their shadows..

And which one is my video? It says under video adapter as SR9- 8mb SDRAM. Is this it?

Ive never headr of the SR9 - probably some crappy integrated video chip. 8Mb of video RAM is painfuly out of date - its even worse than what I have. And thats bad. I doubt Arx Fatalis will run with it. I have seen video cards with insufficient memory behave like this before.

If it *is* an integrated chipset, you can probably allocate it more memory in BIOS, but youll either need to experiment or read your system board manual to find out how to do that.

Belarc is another good system information tool.

Or you can simply run dxdiag [img]smile.gif[/img] You get the card name and the driver version. And the company who supplys the driver.
