Querying Google Earth max texture size

The maximum image size (per side) that Google Earth can display can be found through its Help menu. It's a function of one's graphics card.

I'd like to somehow query that value so that I don't create Google Earth image overlays that are too large. Is there any way to do this?

The maximum texture size of your graphics card can be queried in MATLAB by using the opengl function, like so:

>> d = opengl('data')
>> d.MaxTextureSize
ans =
       16384
