Texture files, PNG to DDS?

After installing some Dark Souls textures I read that there is a soft cap of ~300 MB until you start getting stuttering and I'm at 330 MB now. Can I convert PNG texture files to DDS?

The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had.

DDS files are nvidia textrue files. Download DDS Tools pulgin for Photoshop, and then you will have the option to save as DDS.
