In my use (Mac OSX) rectangle textures are always used. They can be used on Windows and Linux too. Is there a reason not to?<br><br>Either way at least 1GB of RAM or VRAM will be needed just for the pixels. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

In practice, an image of size 3840x3840 uses a texture of size 4096x4096 by default. Do you assume that rectangular mode is available and being used ?<br>
<br>
This makes 16 777 216 pixels, or exactly 1 binary GB for all textures together (still not counting display buffers of this app and other apps)<br>
<br>
In other words, 1 073 741 824 bytes instead of 943 718 400 bytes.<br>
