Hi, I just wanted to know how large the textures can be if new graphics cards should support them (Geforce,Kyro,Radeon). Is it above 2048?

I do believe 2048 x 2048 is the highest today''s cards can go. If you need anything larger than that, put it on multiple maps. Also remember that older cards will not be able to handle that size of texture.

i successfully loaded a 4096x4096 tga texture on a Geforce4 128Mb, it worked just fine, but as Hawkeye3 said, is better to split such huge texture in multiple ones.
