I originally had a Viper 330, then a 550, then tried the Voodoo3. There's
no comparison with Quake2 at 1280x1024. The Viper 770 literally blows the
Voodoo3 away. Don't get me wrong, the Voodoo3 is a fast card....(and yes,
the ATI Rage-Fury 128 is slow compared to both the Voodoo3 and Viper
770)...but I personally wasn't impressed with the performance.
Most of the games I play support OpenGL (Viper Racing, Quake2, Nascar
Racing - Sportsman Edition).
