Quote - Talking of Graphics cards do any of you guys know whether the AMD cards, particularly the 7970 range, have a limit on the number of textures that you can load into their VRAM.

I know that the nvidia ones are limited to about 64 on the 5 series, and currently 256 on the new 6 series. But wondered if AMD cards suffered the same limitations..

I am seriously considering getting a saphire 7970 vapor X 6gb(due to the amazing work that Dade is doing in integrating SLG3 into Lux), but if there is a texture limit then there may not be any point.

Thanks for any advice.

Cheers,

S.K.

I have an HD7750 and love it.  It's taken everything I could shove at it and has yet to balk.  I would make one point though.. avoid sapphire products at all costs.  They may be less expensive; but, for the most part they're crap too.  On my old box, I burned up 3 sapphire cards in 2 months with no explanation from the company.  They went so fast that Best Buy was still willing to exchange them for me.  Anything anything anything but sapphire.
