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 .

—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
