Texture with text in it, looks pixelated, how to fix this in unity3d?

Question

Am using a 1024x1024 texture, which am mapping to a quad in Unity3d. The target platform as of now is PC standalone. This is how it looks:

You can see how pixelated and blurry the objects in the screen are, how can I make it more readable and less pixelated?

Import settings, quality settings and a screenshot of the scene with mip-map turned off here. The texture and the quad asset can be found here.

The image looks fine to me: it looks like a 3D video game.

Note that 1k is very small to use as a PNG for the texture for an object which will appear that large in your final scene.

Secondly click on the texture, and then Inspector.

Note particularly the "Max Size" setting, which indeed should be bigger than the literal size of your PNG. Learn about the "Mip Maps" concept as anim_it says. Also note your "Filter Mode". And indeed the "Texture Type". These settings all need to be "just right" for a given game situation.

Particularly read the two comments by Kolanda above which well-explain anisotropic handling: If you see an object at low angle, like a floor or your cards, it tends to lose texture resolution fast. Try to use "anisotropic" as your filtering mode and see if it helps - it was invented for such situations. As a test move the camera, to view the table from above, to separate texture-related issues from view-related issues.

You should probably include a screenshot of your Inspector for the texture, to get more detailed help. BTW the quad you are using is totally unrelated.
