Balancing VRAM usage and compute power for neural texture compression in games

The adoption of neural texture compression in games faces challenges related to balancing VRAM usage reduction with the increased computational cost of decompressing textures on the fly. This balance is crucial for ensuring that the technology benefits game performance across various GPU capabilities. The challenge involves addressing potential performance losses on low-end cards and overcoming hurdles in game engine support and artist workflows.
