It looks like ATi Radeon 8500 when paired up with 64M or 128M does makes a difference. A simple calculation tells us that with the 128MB version of the card, we can obtain up to a 4.2% difference in performance. At 800x600x32, we only see a gain of 1.68%, and at 1280x1024x32, the difference climbs up to 4.2%.
