I know from personal experience that Unreal Engine 3 uses one of them
(or maybe both), because it crashed when I had a bug there. I've heard
the Source engine uses them too.

The use case for modern games is to support texture paging, i.e.
loading texture pages on demand based on on-screen visibility of
textures and available memory.
