guys unsa pasabot anang 64bit, 128bit etc. sa specs sa video card? the way i understand it mao bana ang color depth? coz i saw it sa settings man gud naay 16bit and higest 32bit, but if this mean the color depth, how can we maximize the setting?, example im using a VC which is labelled 64bit, but why is it in the display properties 32bit is still the maximum setting? it shoud have been 64bit na ang maximum...sakto ba ko sa ako interpretation ani ? hehehe

no, it does not relate to color but rather to the performance/processing speed of the video card.

A video card with for example 128 bit can handle 128 bit data in every clock cycle.

This has nothing to do with the color depth of the graphics modes or the bit width of the peripheral bus the card’s plugged into, but it does mean that when the card’s been given its shorthand instructions by the PC, it can construct the required screen image more quickly.

Widening the on-card data path also allows the card designers to use cheaper, slower RAM; if you’re moving more data at a time, you can get away with moving it less often.
