Should I compress textures?
By compressing texture images we can reduce the amount of memory that each image requires on our hardware and, in some cases, we can use the compression techniques to increase the visual quality of normal map images.

How are compressed textures stored on the GPU?
The compressed textures are stored compressed in memory (both CPU and GPU memory) and decompressed on the fly during texture lookups. This reduces both the memory requirement on the GPU and increases texel lookup rate by reducing memory bandwidth requirement.
Which is better compressed Raw or uncompressed raw?
With a 60.9% decrease in file size when shooting 12-bit compressed RAW, one might think that it is a good option to pick. However, it all depends on your shooting technique, what you shoot and how much information you typically recover from highlights and shadows when post-processing images.
