...Gb/s

Assuming a display size of 1024x768, 75 Hz refresh rate, an ave. compression factor of 5, and an ave. num. layers of 1.7. Simply reading an uncompressed pre-composited image out of a frame buffer would require 1.35 Gb/s.

...spatially

The disparity between the temporal display refresh rate, which is a characteristic of the display technology (typically 60fps or greater for raster scanned CRT displays), and the display content update rate (which need not be greater than 30 fps) is not utilized by Talisman. Although this disparity argues in favor of retaining the frame buffer, it is typically small.
