[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1304775, member: 46727"] The graphics adapter in your MBP is an Intel integrated HD 3000. When in OS X it will allocate 512 MB of memory if your machine has 8 GB of system memory installed - which yours does. Notice I said above when you're in OS X. When in Windows, I'm not sure how much memory gets allocated to the HD 3000. Users have reported problems running graphic intensive games in Windows with the same GPU so I suspect it may not be allocating enough memory from the main memory when running in Windows. [/QUOTE]
