Extended 32 bit 888-8 vs. DXT3?

When I repaint or do touchups, and save, I am asked what format to save it in, i.e. extended 32 bit 888-8, or DXT3, and a host of others. I always save the work in whatever the original format is. My question is this: Which of the formats is better on the FPS, and can you change the format without harming the textures?

Thanks
Bill

Hi,

I'm glad you brought this up, I know DXT3 are supposed to better on FPS so I save to that one, but I too wonder which is best.
I once went over every part of the textures then re-saved it to DXT3 in the hope it made it more FPS friendly, but did it or didn't it?
