Question Pixels Per Unit Multiplier in the Image Component, does it make sprites more costly?

Just curious if using this liberally would have any downsides long term and also interesting learn more about it on a deeper level. I suppose if there's a fragment pass for the UI then there would be 5x the pixels to render?

Maybe its the case that GPUs are really good at multiplying so it's no issue, not sure really.. happy to hear!

Cheers.

 

Bump, still curious. Thanks

 

me too. Damn, no replies so far.

 

You're just stretching the uvs basically. If you have mipmaps enabled, there is 0 cost. If you don't, there is some cost if it's skipping across pixels on the texture faster than it is pixels on the screen. I wouldn't worry about it on anything but mobile, and even then, it's basically fine.
