Why does this game on steam say it needs 256mb of video memory?

[Maki]

on the steam page it says the game needs 256mb of video memory yet every other website says it only needs 128 mb of video memory. can you run this on 128mb of video memory?

Is that the website for ETS2? I'm talking about the old ETS1 but very good idea I'll just download the demo from cnet. Thanks for your help!

Hmm.. I'm on a 2.20Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4gb ram, 4500M HD integrated 2007 graphics, and this is one game I cannot force to run smoothly :> I've had some surprising victories: Sims 3, Borderlands 1, Civ 5, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Medieval 2 Total War, Mount and Blade Warband.. I can force all those to run playably (with varying levels of ini/config edits and mods involved..), came really close to getting "acceptable" framerate on Skyrim, too :)

So yeah.. :| I even tried the 2nd one, and can get it to run nearly as well as the first one :| Still, I hacked ETS1 down to Nintendo 64 graphics and played it in a window the size of a pop tart and /still/ couldn't escape stuttering and lag :|

And ETS2 looks /amazing/.. Kills me inside a little every time I see screenshots of it :| Never knew I had a semi-truck fetish til ETS2 screens ;) Swear it, I'm going to smash this laptop like some crazed rockstar if I ever manage to get a new ("new" meaning "from 2008-2011") desktop.. ;)

MB's are nothing. You can run this on any computer

Even on a 96MB cache.

To give you a view over the min stats needed.
See the min stats for "Witcher 3".
I have GTX 580 3GB Palit in SLI (2x) mode. It works with almost all settings to max but AA set to low (2x) this game works with min 34 to 47 fps. The min stats says the NEXT gen of my Card. The 600 version. I can play the game smooth enough for me.

I think this works on most games. Card is under minimum but works with nearly all maxed out. LOL

I just installed and tried on my old laptop (350M graphics), and on the highest settings it runs great.
