Answer» I was just at this WEB site http://www.spcug.org/reviews/vlba9811.htm And it shows you the formula for finding out how mutch Video RAM will be used to display moniters. Ok so I get Herizantle REZ X Verticale REZ X Bit Depth = Video RAM in BYTES or is it Bits then you Divide by something to get MB. And this is what your video card will use per sec to display and inage on screen. I did not get what you Divide by to get Mega BYTE and first off is it giving us it in Bytes or Bits.

Thanks After the division, the answer will be in megabytes. From the article: Why divide by 8,388,608? Because video cards advertise their video memory in megabytes, and 1MB has 8,388,608 bits (8 bits in a byte times 1024 bytes in 1 kilobyte times 1024 kilobytes in 1MB).So it's Herizantle x Verticale x Bit Depth = Memory in Bits then TAKE that and Divide by 8,388,608 is that it do I have it now??Quote from: nymph4 on September 07, 2008, 09:37:21 AM So it's Herizantle x Verticale x Bit Depth = Memory in Bits then take that and Divide by 8,388,608 is that it do I have it now?? Yes. 1) Horizontal x Vertical x Bit depth = Memory in bits. 2) To convert to megabytes (MB): Divide the answer from 1) by 8,388,608 [(8 bits/byte)(1024 bytes/kilobyte)(1024 kilobytes/megabyte)]

And it shows you the formula for finding out how mutch Video RAM will be used to display moniters.

Ok so I get Herizantle REZ X Verticale REZ X Bit Depth = Video RAM in BYTES or is it Bits then you Divide by something to get MB.

And this is what your video card will use per sec to display and inage on screen.

I did not get what you Divide by to get Mega BYTE and first off is it giving us it in Bytes or Bits.

Yes.

1) Horizontal x Vertical x Bit depth = Memory in bits.

2) To convert to megabytes (MB): Divide the answer from 1) by 8,388,608 [(8 bits/byte)(1024 bytes/kilobyte)(1024 kilobytes/megabyte)]
