Description
Description
With Legacy 3D Compression, the uncompressed VRAM size is shown. I found this very helpful. After switching to Basis compression, I don't see that stat anymore. If I re-enable Legacy Compression, I can see the uncompressed VRAM again. It just feels a little weird having to enable Legacy Compression just to see that stat. I have a couple textures that are better off not compressed at all, so seeing that VRAM information helps inform my decision whether to use Basis compression.

Research direction
Start by locating the Legacy Compression UI and the Basis compression controls that currently display uncompressed VRAM only when legacy compression is enabled. Review how the existing VRAM statistic is shown, then make it available with Basis compression and verify that the value is visible without enabling Legacy Compression.
