The following information is about Texture Compression.

Texture Compression Defined

The technique used by new and upcoming 3d accelerator cards to use larger textures in the same amount of texture memory and graphics bus bandwidth. With texture compression, you can often use textures as big as 2048x2048 in your real-time scenes. Two examples of texture compression methods are S3TC and VQTC. Here`s an article about texturing, including different methods of texture compression.

This definition is in context to Real Time 3D. See more contextual defintions for Texture Compression.
