Resolution
The resolution of a texture map is usually given as a width in pixels, assuming the map is square. For example, a 1K texture has a resolution of 1024 x 1024, or 1,048,576 pixels.
Graphics cards cannot render texture maps beyond a threshold that depends on their hardware, possibly the amount of available RAM or the amount of graphics memory available .

Famous quotes containing the word resolution:
“[A]s I am pretty well acquainted by great Opportunities with the Nature of Man, and know of a Truth, that all Men fight against their Will, the Danger vanishes, and Resolution rises upon this Subject. For this Reason I shall talk very freely on a Custom which all Men wish exploded, tho’ no Man has Courage enough to resist it.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
“It is a part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate; to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The passions do very often give birth to others of a nature most contrary to their own. Thus avarice sometimes brings forth prodigality, and prodigality avarice; a man’s resolution is very often the effect of levity, and his boldness that of cowardice and fear.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
