I just cant help it but i have to ask...
how can a system designer make it efficient?
hypothetically...
- More graphics memory so you can hold all your textures
- A faster bus between the GPU and the host
- A unified GPU/CPU/memory architecture
However, given what we have to work with, the best solution is to copy
textures from host to graphics memory when we need them.
