There's probably something silly about me being worried that my 90 wall and floor textures are already over 150 MB. Only 4% of even an old potato's VRAM.
But this is going to escalate quickly when I start making trim sheets with normal maps and NPC and creature resources.
Would a purely hypothetical and probably implausible computer with 4 GB VRAM be able to handle 2 GB of textures on top of dynamic lighting?
(I know nothing about graphics hardware. 😅 )
