hey,
1) whenever i check myself on system reqirements lab , the test results shows that my graphics card is ATI display adapter (0x9712) but my video card is ATI HD4300 . why does it shows like this ?
is it bcoz my graphics card software is not update or else .
2) moreover it displays that i have directx 10 but in "dxdiag it displays as Directx 11.... why?????
also i had difficulty in running tomb raider anniversary. is it also because of old gpu drivers ...
i updated them nearly 10 months ago.
3) dxdiag displays my video to be 1916 mb but everest ultimate edtion says it to be 512 mb.why??

please give me the link to the new drivers

that looks to be a driver problem. also in BIOS, set the display as PEG (PCI Express Graphics). looks like your IGP is still on so it shown the memory to be so high. update driver, update BIOS (if possible). correct the BIOS setting.

^^ Integrated Graphics.

looks to be the only good reason. BTW can you post your system config again. those pics you uploaded here takes ages to open up.

maybe the IGP sharing your system ram. also try update the Bios & the Graphics Driver to the latest one. this way many problems solved automatically.
