> A single uncompressed 1080p 32-bit (24-bit with 8-bit alpha) wallpaper is 66MB of RAM. I think you mixed up bits and Bytes there. 1920px * 1080px * 4 Bytes/p

I think you mixed up bits and Bytes there. 1920px * 1080px * 4 Bytes/px = 8294400 Bytes = 8100 MiB. For 4k it's the quadruple.
- marmarama 4y agoI'm an idiot, you're right. There, it's on record. I claim under-caffeination. Still, the basic point still stands, even if my numbers need to be divided by 8. Desktops use more memory because, as users, we demand fancy true-color graphics, high resolutions, and anti-aliasing that we didn't have in the Windows 9x era.
