Hello guys. First question: local width = 1024 local height = 256 local target = dxCreateRenderTarget ( width, height, true) So, i created a 1024*256 render target with alpha. But get dxGetStatus() says i used 2mb of video ram. Why? I guess an rgba color takes 4 byte. 1024*256 = 262144 pixel 262144 * 4 byte = 1048576 byte 1048576 / 1024 = 1024 kb 1024 / 1024 = 1 mb (Am i missed something?) So it should be 1 mb but it 2 mb so render targets uses double buffering? And if yes can i disable this, somehow? Because i only draw my render target once then use it forever. So it's just take my vram for nothing. Second question: What is exactly streaming memory? I mean is it the video memory? And what is the problem with it? SA doesn't manage it good enough and if i use too much modell in the same place then the video memory will be full then crash or wierd things happen?
