Techniques are described to generate an index for a texture. The index can be used to retrieve a portion of one or more textures from a cache. The index can be adapted based on static texture attributes or direction attributes in order to attempt to achieve texture cache efficiency. Static texture attributes can include, bit are not limited to, 1-dimensional texture, 2-dimensional texture, 3-dimensional texture, or MIPmaps texture, original memory address. Direction attributes can be, but are not limited to, u-major or v-major directions.
