AFAIK it is not yet possible, maybe with a later update. Would be very useful, though. Think of those times as you could fall back to Chipmem when you ran out of Fastmem.

It would be possible indeed, but reading gfxcard memory is typically really slow.

To get an idea how slow it would be run "memtest vmem" (from shell). The 'verify'-speed is the readspeed.

Relatively it'd be much slower than falling back to chipmem on an amiga.

58 MB/sec

No way. That must be write speed. Even my Pegasos2 with Radeon 8500LE only does 37 MB/s read.

[EDIT]

Just to clarify: This is a result from EFIKA system?

[/EDIT]

Heh, it's nice to be wrong here :-D Or alternatively something is screwy with memtest. I seem to remember some very poor read performance (more like 14MB/sec read).

If this is true, I guess it might be worth looking into this, then.

Anyway, I'm still wondering why my R7500 is so much faster than your R8500LE. Is this all due to the limitations of Efika?

Ehum, they're both in Peg2.

And the 8500LE is faster in pretty much anything else than reading the VMEM with CPU.
