Maximum texture size?

not too many...
even the original geForce gts supported 2048 I beleive, or was it 1024??
But I wouldn''t worry about having textures too small unless you are specifically targeting your game at old systems.

This site lists specific video card capabilities:

It's an OpenGL site but texture size is a hardware limitation so it will also apply for DirectX.

your clicky had an extra "

As far as I recall, the Voodoo had the 256x256 limitation.
However, supporting the Voodoo isn''t as simple as scaling down your textures, there are a lot of other limitations and driver bugs. You might want to consider whether it''s worth it.

Looking at this survery by valve, there aren''t a lot of voodoo users, anyway (2.7% use voodoo3)

That said, it won''t hurt you to expose a "Scale all textures" option, which would just scale down everything to 256x256 as it''s being loaded - might help with cards other than the voodoo that have the same limitation (an S3 virge, maybe? )
