"Universal" GPU texture/image format examples
All PSNR figures are luma PSNR. Each image was transcoded from the same compressed texture data.
Interesting to read: "Full transcoding on the GPU will only work on those GPU's that support LZ in hardware (or possibly a compute shader)" just for curiosity: can name these GPUs? all desktop GPUs supporting DXT formats support LZ in hardware? mobile wise any GPU with LZ support? should your work make vendors expose LZ hardware decoding in some way on graphic APIs?
I know that some modern consoles support LZ in hardware. I'm no expert on this, but I suspect some AMD chips have LZ in hardware. It may also be possible to do a reasonable LZ decompressor in a compute shader.
