Error: Could not draw triangles, too many vertices(484554)

I am new to IRRLICHT. I am importing a 3ds object and adding it to my scene. When i rotate my view such that the object is in view i get the folowing warning in the console output.

Could not draw triangles, too many vertices(484554), maxium is 65535

I checked the CAPS on my video card and sure enough, primitive maximum is 65535. I would like to use IRRLICHT to render some large scenes and this maximum will kill me. Is there a work around for this? I can scale back on the number of triangles in the model, however without pixel shading this results in abrupt shading. Any pointers on fixing this would be appreciated.

Well.... as Niko says somewhere on one of the Irrlicht info pages. The only limit is your hardware... upgrade?
