Oct 14	comment	XNA texture stretching at extreme coordinates I'm still a little curious too, but have run out of ways to test it. Every example of this issue I've seen online has been attributed to floating point precision, though none give a great explanation of why. I can play with spritebatch settings all day but I suspect, if an answer can be found, it's going to have to be by someone with lower-level GPU knowledge.

Jun 25	revised	XNA texture stretching at extreme coordinates Added non-square non-power of two test results.
Jun 25	comment	XNA texture stretching at extreme coordinates @DavidGouveia Ah, I was beginning to think it must have something to do with the internals (either of XNA or the GPU) doing calculations in floats and losing precision. I was just hesitant to settle on that because I wouldn't have expected that to stretch the texture like it does. Of course, I'm not sure what I would have expected it to do...
Jun 25	comment	XNA texture stretching at extreme coordinates Just ran a test with a 25x33 texture and the stretch point is now around (-13,107,000, 17,301,000). So while it appears to be related to the aspect ratio of the texture, it isn't directly related to the texture's actual size.
Jun 25	comment	XNA texture stretching at extreme coordinates In retrospect, it's recurrence at 2^n is likely because my texture sizes are 2^n. Will test momentarily.
Jun 25	comment	XNA texture stretching at extreme coordinates Updated with data for 1024x1024 texture size, as well as noting additional stretching points at coordinates 16,777,216*2^n. Also, I mistakenly used a 64x66 texture for my previous test, using 64x64 indicated the same stretching points all other square textures show.
Jun 25	revised	XNA texture stretching at extreme coordinates Update 2, also fixed erroneous data in Update 1
