It uses less VRAM? That doesn’t sound right. Does it encrypt or obfuscate video memory contents? That sounds implausible too.

Why does it use more VRAM? And no need for generic “because it sucks” comments.

Because the author of the article is a dumbass who shouldn’t be in tech.

Well the Video - if authentic - definitely shows more than 1GB VRAM usage less during the same scenes with the same settings. Obfuscation techniques can increase RAM usage, but why the VRAM usage went up too i can't really explain - except for bad implementation by Capcom, because it is NOT in their interest reducing video performance. System Ram i can understand, VRam can only be explained by the people who integrated Denuvo at Capcom.
