    hello all

    what is the ideal resolution for a heightmap image assuming i want a high resolution terrain that's about 10km x 10km in the real world and is targeted to run on reasonably high end hardware like a GTX 960 or above? i assume either 2048x2048 or 4096x4096 but not sure if either of these will be efficient.

    also should my image be a power or 2 or a power of 2 plus one?

    thanks
