A bit of info on support for Non-Powers of 2 maps in GPUs. Near as I can tell, if the GPU doesn't support NPOT maps then you fall back to software rendering. I assume this would be relevant for Octane etc. A cool everything you ever wanted to know about your GPU utility (including NPOT support on the textures tab).
