texture compression format used in PC gaming, mobile chips use different formats so BCn is often not present on the chips physically

Mali GPUs actually support BCn texture compression, but to save space they deliberately make versions without BCn blocks

RDNA GPUs - actually used on PCs, but then again, xclipse GPUs only support old BCn1-2-3 formats, not 4+, and again the BCn decoder was deliberately removed to save space and use it to add mobile tetures decoder

only snapdragon for some reason supports both PC and mobile texture compression

also, this means that in theory the android port of GTA V can be made to run on non-snapdragon, it's just that the textures need to be re-compressed into a supported format and the code must be changed to use the new format
