-Texture file formats come in two basic categories: those that are used at runtime (in-game), versus those that are used by artists in general but have to be converted to be used "live" in-game.
+To save memory, runtime textures often use compression. However typically a few very specific compression formats are supported in hardware. This means if you use [[:Category:TextureFormat|other texture formats]] they must be uncompressed when they're loaded off the hard drive or disc and into video memory to be used in-game, which in turn increases their memory cost. Hardware-supported compression saves memory, allowing the artist to use larger or more textures.
