Hi there,

I think I have asked that before but since I have a ticket with Microsoft open and they want me to verify this once more I'll ask once again.

I have found limitations on how many textures I can create and they don't make sense to me... I am running the following code on a 48 Gig machine with a GTX 480. See the table below for results.

SlimDX.Direct3D11.Device device = new SlimDX.Direct3D11.Device(DriverType.Hardware, DeviceCreationFlags.None);List<Texture2D> textureList = new List<Texture2D>();int width = 8192;int height = 4096;for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++){    try    {        Texture2DDescription texDesc = new Texture2DDescription();        texDesc.ArraySize = 1;        texDesc.BindFlags = BindFlags.ShaderResource;        texDesc.CpuAccessFlags = CpuAccessFlags.None;        texDesc.Format = SlimDX.DXGI.Format.R16_Float;        texDesc.Height = height;        texDesc.MipLevels = 1;        texDesc.OptionFlags = ResourceOptionFlags.None;        texDesc.SampleDescription = new SampleDescription(1, 0);        texDesc.Usage = ResourceUsage.Default;        texDesc.Width = width;        Texture2D texture = new Texture2D(device, texDesc);        textureList.Add(texture);    }    catch (Exception ex)    {        MessageBox.Show("Error at texture " + i + " : " + ex.ToString());        break;    }}foreach (Texture2D texture in textureList){    texture.Dispose();}

Now these are the results that I'm getting for different texture sizes...

Texture Dimension	Format		Size MB	Max # Textures	Memory Used GB256x256			R16_Float	0.125	62,256		7.60512x256			R16_Float	0.25	31,040		7.58512x512			R16_Float	0.5	15,520		7.581024x512		R16_Float	1	7,760		7.582048x1024		R16_Float	4	1,940		7.584096x2048		R16_Float	16	485		7.588192x4096		R16_Float	64	485		30.318192x8192		R16_Float	128	485		60.6316384x8192		R16_Float	256	242		60.5016384x16384		R16_Float	512	121		60.5016384x16384		R32_Float	1024	60		60.00

As you can see the first few rows seem to be limited to about 7.6 gigs, the one row that is limited at a bit over 30 gigs, and the remaining rows are limited at 60 gigs and even though I only have 48 gigs physical RAM in my computer, I was able to create all those textures up to the limit stated above...

if any of the SlimDX devs could verify that this is indeed not a problem stemming from SlimDX, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help

Marcel

Thanks,

that was what I thought and was expecting... but for Microsoft to rule this out, I had to get it answered by someone with more C++ knowledge than myself.

Thanks
