Quick graphics question
I'm just wondering, are the graphics that are shown in the editor, the same quality as the ones that will be seen in the fully compiled game? Thanks

Depends on what quality you set it as.
When you build standalone it gives you the option to choose what quality you want the game running at. Others you have to set the quality.
To edit graphics quality properties go to Edit/Project Settings/Quality. There you can choose the defaults for Standalone, Web, Mobile, even the quality that is displayed in the editor.
Thanks, just wanted to work on my textures, so I can see highest quality in the editor.

It depends, go to the quality settings and you can change the editor quality. That will let you make edits to each of the quality settings and choose which one the editor uses. This will let you make the rendered image match the build product a little better.
At the same time, the frame rate probably won't be as good as a standalone player. The editor has to draw the editor, the scene view, and the game view. All these lead to more to do. If you are running the profiler, that's also going to slow stuff down.
So you can get the same looking graphics, you just won't get a very good FPS doing it;). It all depends on you as to if that's something you want or need for your project.
