There was a problem hiding this comment.
Not sure if we should be saying "good" or "bad," might be a better idea to just give the size and let people make their own decisions. The way this is made makes it seem like you should never use 4K textures.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The "good" or "bad" badges are mostly for visual grepping; they're not visible as text on the page. Some people may also not be aware of how much VRAM usage they can get away with on typical target hardware, so hopefully this also gives an idea. (Obviously, this varies a lot on a project-by-project basis, but you'll run into problems if you create an indie game that requires a GPU with 6 GB of VRAM just to avoid running out of memory.)
There are good reasons to use 4K textures in some circumstances, but it's not something you should default to (as of writing).
This may be worth a dedicated paragraph on its own, but it may be more suited to the existing GPU optimization article. GPUs with 2-4 GB of VRAM are still quite common in the Steam Hardware Survey as of February 2023.

- Add best practices for importing images and audio, such as texture size recommendations.
