which is better dds or png

[quetillo]

I always had this doubt, image in dds or in png, today changing to a png format texture that weighs 1.04mb to dds, this dds weighs 5.33mb for me, let's go an exaggeration of mb, this will not affect the fluidity, but If you insert an object with dds textures, it can weigh a lot, so I wonder if dds or png. And since png weighs a lot less

png (and JPG etc..) is NOT an option, in pretty much any video game.
AFAIK these file formats will be converted by the game to uncompressed dds files which results in an unnecessary waste of vide memory.
But you can use them while you´re testing textures, just make sure you use dds in the final version.
