(apologies if this is the wrong forum, but it seems most appropriate here)

I'm interested in measuring how much of my 256mb of memory in my X1800XT is in use in various games at various graphics settings. Does anyone know of a program which can do this?

I found one called "Video Memory Watcher" but it doesn't seem to work quite right. It requires directX 9.0c and .net 1.1, and I have both. It detects my graphics card as having between 495mb and 500mb of memory (it changes sometimes) and tells me I have 244.95mb of 'system memory'. Not sure what's going on really!

So it would be great if anyone knows of another program that could help me, or a way to make this one work. :D Thanks in advance.

The thing is, I tried running a game with it and the 'current memory usage' value decreased! And sometimes it just declares I have no memory at all. :confused: Perhaps it doesn't support my card or drivers?
