If I add more textures to my LoadGLTextures() function but don''t bind them anywhere, will it make my program go any slower? Thanks

possibly if the textures you dont use take up all your video memory and you load some more textures and they get stored in system memory, it could slow down your program

So if my video card has 16 MB of RAM, does that mean it can support 16 MB of textures? As in 16 1 MB textures?

Thanks

I thought video cards had a set amount of memory for textures. I think it may have been 12-14 mb out of 16 or something like that. The rest is for other surfaces, double buffering, etc.
