In that case you should consider getting a different card.

What do we do if our card is larger than 128MB?

Great!! I have 128mb!

But I hope you\'re not expecting evryone to do this at the final realese, the games should change these values by itself.

Jorrit,

I assume these changes only take effect when you restart planeshift correct?

The only thing I see in \'settings\' myself is resolution, colourdepth and the Advanced button. :P

Not that I don\'t know how to see details for my own card, just pointing out that this is all you see if you use Windows 98.

Question on the math.

128MB card settings:
128 x 128 x 4 bytes x 15 = 983,040 bytes
64 x 64 x 4 bytes x 185 = 3,031,040 bytes
32 x 32 x 4 bytes x 60 =  245,760 bytes
16 x 16 x 4 bytes x 0 =  0 bytes

Total memory usage = 4,259,840 bytes or about 4MB

This is no where near the \"half\" of video memory you recommend using.  So, is there a flaw in my math somewhere?
Does anyone know?

Um.... experiment?
Whats up with all the questions? Im tempted to say something mean but I wont. I think the original post is quite explicit.

Awesome tip by the way. I would post elsewhere so the developers know, this would be something good to have auto-detected in the next release.

thats good advice, but not that important in this case.

OK let\'s just straighten something out... Anyone who has successfully tweaked a 64meg card using this can they post the numbers up? Jorrit, You said you were going to tell us how to tweak 64 megs and you didn\'t. That was mean.
