Picasso96 eating up my fast men
« on: August 29, 2013, 10:47:38 PM »
Hi all,

I recognized that my resolution of 1920x1080 32 bit needs 8 MB of fast mem. Wouldn't be a problem since my Radeon gives me additional 228 MB, but this RAM is very slow, so I would like to have as much onboard fast mem as possible (I have 16 MB only).

Switching to less colors does not help, at 8 bit colors my system freezes after showing a crappy screen.

Does someone know how to avoid this memory consumption or why 8 bit does not work? Thx!

How does the Radeon driver show fast ram?
Is it possible the fastram its using is actually just the framebuffer (8meg sounds about right size) and the 8meg its using is actually VRAM shown as fast and not "real" fast ram?
Other than that is there maybe an option (some sort of gui or tooltypes) as to which type of fast ram is used 1st for graphics?

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Unfortunately I don't know. Is there a tool that shows the memory usage of the system?
