Hello people;
I have a question:
What is the formula with which you can calculate the minimum necessary amount of video RAM to display a certain screen resolution and color depth?
For instance, I seem to remember that for a resolution of 640x480 and 16-bit color depth, you need 1Mb of video RAM, that is: for a 2D screen.
So: what is this formula to calculate the nesessery amount of video RAM for a certain 2D screen resolution?
And is the formula for 3D images any different?
Many thanks!
