|1= Because graphics cards like powers of 2, we're actually using 16384x16384 rather than full resolution (which would choke even my high-end GPU), and here we see the virtue of precompressed dds, so if I remember one of the precompressed and mipmapped files is 172 MB. | |||
Unless you have 8+ GB of memory, using half the resolution is probably a very good idea. | |||
Once you are at it, notice that also the cloudsphere is available at higher resolution... makes a hell of difference. | |||
