Understanding BCn Texture Compression Formats
BC1, BC2, and BC3 use the S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) algorithm
BC4 is the 3Dc+ algorithm, BC5 is 3Dc algorithm originally developed by ATI
BC6H and BC7 use the BPTC algorithm originally developed by NVIDIA
BC1 & BC3 algorithm from "Real-Time DXT Compression" by JMP van Waveren link link
BC5 algorithm from "Real-Time Normal Map DXT Compression" by JMP van Waveren & Ignacio Castaño link

Note that the NVIDIA tools haven't been updated in some time, and are currently missing support for the DX10 header extension, BC6H, and BC7.
