Is it preferred to have geometry figures (E.g. walls) by the power of two?

[QUOTE=Yobdren;16027568]the highest power of 2 [/QUOTE]

...does not exist. *Sighs*
Looks, here's how to calculate the 500th result in a calculator (5000 digit here: [url]http://gvhome.001webs.com/bcalc/bcalc.zip[/url] - you'll have to set it to 5000 through the options) real quick: Type 1024 x 2 and spam the equal button. It can be done in 1-2 minutes. It would take hours to write down a 5000 digit number. Now imagine a million digit one.

Also, a mathematical peace doesn't create a cool-looking list. :smug:

[HiddenMyst]

y=2^x

And the term isn't really "the power of 2"...

[QUOTE=HiddenMyst;16028224]Do you know what an equation is? It wouldn't take any more than a second on a calculator.[/QUOTE]

Some basic math here. There is no magical function on how to do an exponential equation. 2^5 is the same as 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 for the calculator.
Now I'd like to see you doing 2^1 000 000 000 on a calculator.

...I'm still waiting.

Don't wait long. Feel free to download and use this calculator: [url]http://gvhome.001webs.com/bcalc/bcalc.zip[/url]
It counts 5000 digits.

This is how much 5000 digits are by the way:

And for the reason that you should use powers of two when dealing with textures:
The textures in source are rendered by DirectX. "Powers of two" happen to be in the same base as the binary numerical system, so some "powers of two" match common data types.
If one data type is 512 bits and the image size is the same on one axis, you can save memory. If the size was greater than 512, two or more of that data type would need to be used. And if the size would have been 513, 512 bits would have been stored in the first, and 1 bit in the other, wasting 511 bits of memory.

Texture memory is limited to the amount of memory on the GPU.

That's 1 billion zeroes. That's far from fitting into your 5000-digit calculator.

Haha, some day...
I can run Crysis with ultra-high mod on at a steady 15-20 FPS when no programs are running and processing is optimized. Very high runs well, and high is what is preferred.

Never. We'll aways create new byte measures. For example, there's still Terabytes, Petabytes, Exobytes, Yottabytes, and creating new ones aways :v:

(Nanobyte, milibits, Keirfabyte)
1 Bit = Binary Digit
8 Bits = 1 Byte
1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte
1024 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
1024 Zettabytes = 1 Yottabyte
1024 Yottabytes = 1 Brontobyte
1024 Brontobytes = 1 Geopbyte
1024 Geopbytes = 1 Saganbyte
1024 Saganbytes = 1 Pijabyte
1024 Pijabytes = 1 Alphabyte
1024 Alphabytes = 1 ???

More fun facts: 1 petabit equals one quadrillion bytes. (Petabit is the one over terra)
There's 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000 bytes in an alphabyte. (Edit: That's 1 Duodecillion)

1024 Alphabytes... one day, one day...

I wonder what they will call 1024 Alphabytes... Frost byte? Holy shit byte? 1 kilo*newexpression*?

Random note: it's 13:37 o' clock here now.

I just found out that 1 Alphabyte is one Duodecillion bytes... yup.

I wonder what they will call the byte with Trillquadquintsexsepoctnondecundecduo alphabytes in it?

And, yes, that is in fact a number. It's the largest number known to mankind.

Just imagine a Trillquadquintsexsepoctnondecundecduo-alphabyte texture file, graphics card or RAM.

EDIT: A number with one Trillquadquintsexsepoctnondecundecduo 0's in it, if printed out (font: Arial, size: 11) and the paper was stacked on top of eachother it would probably be larger then the universe we know, and pass any length any teloscope has ever seen.

Trillquadquintsexsepoctnondecundecduo + 1. i win.

Your avatar fits.

EDIT: Betabytes? Garrybyte?

[DainBramageStud]

After an Alphabyte I expect there will be a Betabyte, then a Gammabyte, etc.
