OS video memory usages a discussion)

[pjg]

just running windows 7 on a 1920x1080 1080p dell 24" screen is going to use 120 MB of video memory but they say it will run on 64 MB GPU so i am just saying that maybe their off

Where do you get that number? At 24-bits/pixel it's only 49,766,400 bytes of VRAM to display a single frame. It'll fit in 64MB just fine.

32 BIT and 1920x1080 1080p not just 24-bits/pixel

and i am running M* pic as my wallpaprer

So what if you run M* pic as your wall paper and 32 BIT and 1920x1080 1080p do you get 49,766,400 bytes of VRAM to display a single frame. It'll run in 64MB just fine.

While you may be setting 32-bits/pixel, the actual display is only 24-bits.

No, you are not.

how do you get only 49,766,400 bytes of VRAM

how do you get only 49,766,400 bytes of VRAM

Simple math: (1920x1080)x24=49,766,400

Let's see.....
Left over textures and data from the game/s you were just playing... (just for starters)
You can't take everything you see on those so called monitors as the gospel.

i do play games a lot but even this web page if i am running M* pic as my wallpaper on Google Clone its like 225.0MB

Then you wouldn't be able to do that on a 64MB card. Bottom line, don't worry about it.

ok so if you sold a 1920x1080 1080p dell 24" screen to me with windows 7 and i had a 64 MB and i wanted to run it like i said' would you sell it to me

 

[Deleted member 904905]

Would I sell it to you? Yes. It's your responsibility to make sure that it meets your needs, not mine. Of course I would point out that such a low end video adapter would be extremely limited in what modes it supported.
