All 3 of these options are batshit crazy. Dropping $5000 on a laptop is an absurdly bad way to spend your money. Let's start with why you think you need a $5000 laptop. What are you using this for? Why do you think you need a laptop workstation rather than a desktop? Keep in mind a very powerful desktop workstation should…

Yes this is plausible (as long as you have a sensible pipeline workflow way of getting the "colour" information out as a single channel of range 0-255... I guess you'd just compress the Hue range down from 0-359 and lose a little precision), it'd mean you could use a DXT1 instead of a DXT5. However you'd also lose…
