Pentium III 550E - Quake III Arena Quaver.dm3

Here, once again, we see that the 64 MB GeForce crushes the 32 MB GeForce when the memory of the card is finally put to use. In the runs of demo001.dm3 the extra storage space available on the 64 MB GeForce goes unused. There is no performance to be gained by having additional storage spaces if it is not being utilized. The Quaver demo makes use of this space while also giving a real world gaming situation: at some time in your Quake III Arena game playing time you will come across the map used to record this demo: Q3DM9. When this day comes, if it has not already, you will understand why 64 MB of on card memory is extremely useful at specific colors and resolutions.
