| Why 32-bit video card and not 24-bit ? Hi, A technical question about video board. The human eye detects 256 level of gray. Applied to RGB channels, it is able to see 256x256x256 = 16.77 millions colors, so as much as a 24-bit card (2^24 = 16.77 millions) Question : why do we sale 32-bit card is 24-bit is enough (in another field, 24-bit audio board are common, but for other reasons) It is not because the bus is 32-bit or because the processing or the OS works on 32-bit. It seems that the reaon is other... Aany idea ? Thanks Thierry |
