This was my first 3D graphics card. Could finally play Quake 3 Arena smoothly. Or was it Quake 2 already? Good times.

Probably quake 2. Quake 3 likely wouldn’t have run the best on a 3dfx card but I think it would have run.

@TrickDacy @bonenode Could Quake 3 even run without a graphics card? It came out in late 1999 and was the best looking game at the time by far.

Without a graphics card? Of course not. Without 3d acceleration? Definitely not. Quake 3 was by far the most taxing game I was aware of when I came out. I barely saw any computers that could run it with maxed out settings until probably a year after it came out.
