What you can do if you have gpu friendly format is you send compressed data over PCI-E and then decompress on the gpu. Thus your overall throughput will increase since PCI-E bandwidth is the limiting factor of the overall system.

That doesn’t explain how vortex is faster. Yes, you should send compressed data to the GPU and let it uncompress. You should maximize your PCI-E throughput to minimize latency in execution, but what does Vortex bring? Other than Parque bad, Vortex good.
