No use for lots of memory?

...what about rendering a scene in which there is an alley bordered by tens (or hundreds) of statues of the complexity of the Thai statue from the Stanford 3D scanning project? even a single instance contains 10 million polygons (nearly 150 times a V4).

...or doing some fluid simulations with a 512x512x512 cell subdivision (130+ million cells, several gigabytes just to hold one instance of the structure).

Anyway, as I hold no shares of firms building RAM chips, I walk away from the latest fight. I really hope that this atrocious period will soon be over, because the conflictuality in forums has skyrocketed in an unbareable way (a couple of months ago I predicted in another thread problems and I was optimistic).

Bye.
