if you have tested the changes in the use of VRAM for graphics card rendering before and after compression?

Thank you very much for your work The data compression work is excellent May I ask if you have tested the changes in the use of VRAM for graphics card rendering before and after compression? What I mean is to use specific data testing to obtain changes in the usage of VRAM May I ask if you have specific test results?I want to know the specific changes.thank you

Do you talk about the VRAM for rendering the results interactively? I never took any measurements, but here is what I expect:

• The renderer has a baseline VRAM usage for sorting, textures, etc.. This will remain more or less unaffected by the compression
• The renderer needs to keep the Gaussians and all their parameters in VRAM. Here, I expect a reduction of about 13x, since this is the compression ratio you get without entropy and run-length encoding.

I hope this was helpful.
