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:
“Unfortunately, many things have been omitted which should have been recorded in our journal; for though we made it a rule to set down all our experiences therein, yet such a resolution is very hard to keep, for the important experience rarely allows us to remember such obligations, and so indifferent things get recorded, while that is frequently neglected. It is not easy to write in a journal what interests us at any time, because to write it is not what interests us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We have been here over forty years, a longer period than the children of Israel wandered through the wilderness, coming to this Capitol pleading for this recognition of the principle that the Government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. Mr. Chairman, we ask that you report our resolution favorably if you can but unfavorably if you must; that you report one way or the other, so that the Senate may have the chance to consider it.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
