My Viewer only provides 1048 of allocated video memory.

I have a 2gb video card, more in the second life in my viewer is only available at most up to 1048 of memory to allocate ... I don't know what to do! I wanted to use all my video memory.

Hi Fernando,

Start by letting us see some important details of your system. In your viewer, go to Help - About [viewer_name]  and copy/paste all of that information into a post here.

We'll all be able to see exactly what we're dealing with.

most 3rd-party viewers are hardcoded to allow using up to approx. half of the memory capacity reported by the graphics card

True, and this might be exactly the OP's situation. Good point, @Mollymews

Firestorm's (64bit) settings are limited to:-

64bit versions only. This setting is hard limited based on the VRAM available with your graphics card. It is recommended you increase the slider to use the maximum available to prevent texture thrashing.

• GPU 1GB = up to 768MB
• GPU 2GB+ = up to 1024MB
• GPU 4GB+ = up to 2048MB
