So far, the performance has been terrible. I suppose it's just me. My original response was based on what I have been able to get to work, which is using the X3.3.3.6 libraries that came from 3dfx directly.
Yup, hardware. If it was running software, I'd probably be getting about
a frame a minute. I get acceptable framerates, and it's pretty stable. I
do have a problem connecting to certain network games when mods are
involved, and sometimes it crashes, but it generally works great. One
thing I have noticed was that I was dropping frames, until I tried running
it from base X via xinit, then typing "nice -19 ut" to run the game. That
way, no background processes interrupt my game. Works great.
