Hardware Big texture size

[paddy2]

While looking at other info I came across the data given below regarding my video card. It is taken from the D3D9 client log.

If I am reading this right does it mean I can have a texture file 8K by 8k, or is it just I can have 8kby8k of textures at any one time.

I know that an add on with 10 64meg textures would be a bit over the top but for private use !!!!!!!

Any ideas gents

This means you can have any texture with 8192x8192 size (on Windows Vista and newer). The number of textures of this size you can use depends on amount of the video memory.

I have 1GByte but am running XP !!

Got to be worth a try mind, thanks so much for response

but am running XP !!

In this case the maximum texture size would be 4096x4096 px.

Again many thanks. Still don't see it as a add on value but mighty just have a base with a "private" set up. Still, someone may be interested.
