no I meant the resoltion of your UV map......and of course the resolution of the file you are using for the texture. Post a file of the Maya and textures and I will have a look later, unless you work it out.

Okay....

The hardware texturing channel is a little buggy, it always has been. Having a good graphic card will help, and also quality textures, but the highest setting such as the 256 setting may actually produce a far worse display than the lower settings. So I would try to determine the best output for your texture, you may find a lower setting better.

What resolution is the texture?

Also, viewport 2.0 is not really that great unless your system can handle it. Just because Autodesk demo it working really well for them doesnt mean it will work for the rest of us.

Do you think it WONT glitch up if my texture is 256x256 pixels and the hardware texture is 256x256?

Well theres the problem....the texture is tiny in the first place. I dont even know if this size is even used in games anymore

Display and texture res are 2 different things. Try texture resolutions from 1024, 2048, 4096....you shouldnt even need to adjust the hardware texturing with these as the default is usually adequate enough and your renders will be fine.

Hardware texturing is purely for openGL display on the monitor, it has nothing to do with the final render

I had to ask what size you were using because your screen shot was so pixelated it had to be a small texture.

I will add I use 2048 or 4096 texture resolutions for my UV maps and models assets in my game. I do not change any settings for display at all...as Jay said the default settiings will be fine.
