You still probably don't want to use 10% of your memory bandwidth at all times for a windowing effect?

Ergo my point about compression :-)

Desktop images are generally large blobs of pixels next to each other. I haven't verified but I would be surprised if 10x compression is not possible. So maybe 2-5GB/s? Also it's not like the GPU doesn't use up energy itself while doing this.
