Big performance difference between 16Mb and 32Mb G400s?

[flenn]

Any benchmarks that show a compelling reason to go with the 32Mb version over the 16Mb? I don't need dual head or Max. TIA

Depends on your screenresolution ...

1920x1400x32bpp is about 10MB per buffer, so you won't get that res. with a 16MB version, 'cos you cannot play using singlebuffering.

Also is the texture transfer via AGP way slower than from local gfx-buffer and modern games like UT and Q3 use a hell of a lot of textures.
