Memory Requirements
The more resolution and colors, the more memory required by the display adapter to lay out the image. This early chart shows the minimum memory needed for one frame, but adapters come with a lot more memory today because they use a pipeline with multiple frames. They also use additional memory for anti-aliasing, textures and intermediate rendering stages.
