Ruphuss

as a new feature for users with small gpu ram i would like to see the gpu ram load of an item in product description

what do you think ? usefull ?

It's been said, in general, that it is very hard to predict the load. Even if it could be given per-item that would not allow for different textures.

This would be incredibly difficult to accurately represent - potentially an "as is" for the product might be possible but with kit bashing and use of different sharers etc it would be difficult to represent. Then you have the modular kits which would require gpu ram load for each item/combination of items. I think it could be useful it it's an issue for some but then you would also be stunting your creativity based on fitting a scene to memory because you don't want to wait for a cpu render? I only have a 2gig card and have scenes with 3 or 4 fully clothed figures using my gpu, then another seemingly simpler scene with 1 or 2 that will only cpu render. I think the testing that would be involved etc would outweigh the need for the information, I've heard most people have little trouble as long as they have at least 4gb on the gpu card.

Which was an overly complicated way of saying what Richard did!!
