    I think this is mostly a target hardware issue rather than an engine issue?

    I personally have used 4096x4096 images without issue (relatively high end hardware)

    I have also had scenes with upwards of 4 million polys reported, clearly not optimised and again on relatively high end hardware.

    in theory DX 11 hardware supports 8k and 16k textures, in practice i cant see any use for such things in a real time rendering environment, well i can but not within the realm we are in.

    I'm also somebody will chip in with a more technical angle on how polys are less important than drawcalls and such :)
