Thank u for ur help <3

Oh and no, it doesnt change btw.

Hmm guess that makes sense, but still, it doesnt change the fact that SL itself is using all the memory on my video card and even when im watching you tube videos etc, after a while playing, if i maximize sl again it gets super slow. Thats why i asked if a 4G video card would be better than a 1.2G in this scenario.

I have a question thats been dreading me for a long time now, i think i figured out but i just wanna make sure that this is the problem. I have a GTX 570. As you know the 570 only has 1.2g of memory. What i usually do on my pc is use skype everyday, youtube or random surfing on firefox, and im also kind of a hardcore gamer. I usually try to play 2 games at the same time for example, Second Life and Battlefield 3 because sometimes im afk and i simply alt tab from a game to the next but ive been getting a black screen when i alt tab from a game to the other and GPUZ tells me its my gpu memory being fully used up. I even overclocked it a bit, but still when i try to play 2 games or even just SL it uses my gpu's full memory. I thought it was the processor or maybe the ram but now i know its the GPU. So my question is....should i get a lets say GTX 670 with 4G of memory ? because if you think about it, with more memory in the video card i should be able to play SL along with another game and have no black screens or horrible FPS when i alt tab from one game to the other ? just wanna make sure thats the problem. Btw im only using one monitor 1920x1080.
