In 2005 my resolution was 1024x768 on a 60(?)Hz screen. That's 2MB per frame. Right now I have 2x 2560x1440 HDR monitors with 144Hz refresh rates hooked up to my machine, with double buffering is 100MB just for screen buffers. I believe it was Windows Vista (apologies I'm not confident in my linux versions) that introduced the DWM compositor, meaning that all of a sudden you need all of the frames of all of the windows in memory x 2.
