I do believe that 3dfx has fixed their 256x256 texture size limit with cards after Voodoo3. bummer on the limit I agree, it forces itself into the art pipeline and thats always a bad thing when technology dictates to the artists. otoh they had the fastest texture loads, probably because they had

The 256x256 texture size limit on Voodoo cards surprises me. First, the OpenGL driver has texture problems, now this. I had a pretty high respect for Voodoo cards, now I'm thinking I should have gone GeForce, but the Voodoo does have a nice price tag (got mine for $80). Justin, I noticed that t

Ignoring the Voodoo texture size limit, this discussion of texture management is essentially correct in that it is up to the app to manage texture memory. When using D3D as the interface to the hardware its possible for the J3D runtime to create "managed" textures on your behalf that then use the
