How ridiculous is a tilemap with 512 size tiles

just wondering if it would be more effecient to use a 2048x2048 sprite or tiling background instead of a 2048x2048 tilemap that has sections that are 512x512. I can definitely break the tilemap down to something around 64x64 or 128x128 tiles.

just wondering if it would make that much difference?

If you reuse the 512x512 sections more than once then separate objects or a tilemap would save you on vram usage. If each section is unique then you may as well use just one sprite.

okay thank you the tilemap which has the 512x512 tiles, and they all repeat several times. I just wasn't sure if that was just a ridiculous size.

It depends how many tiles you have - I'd recommend reading Remember not to waste your memory

that works for me. I was messing around with the tiles and realized that a 16 tiled tile map with 512x512 tiles is way to limiting as well. I can reduce the tiles to 128x128 or maybe even 96x96 to have more freedom with the city background layout. thanks for the help.

I don't if I can post images yet but if I can theres an example of a tile. It could easily be broken down further.
