Obviously, our favorite ex-3Dfx employee is _still_ bitter about the separation package. Here's Hook's latest plan file about the upcoming Q3ATest release for Win32 (hopefully Sunday PM):

============================
Here's a quick run down of accelerators we have tested and that we find acceptable or better for Quake3, assuming the most up to date
drivers are installed (note: up to date drivers for nearly all of the following accelerators will be available when Q3TEST is released).

3Dfx Voodoo Graphics
3Dfx Voodoo2
3Dfx Voodoo2 SLI
3Dfx Voodoo3*
3Dfx Voodoo Rush (tested out of house, but supposedly stable)
3Dfx Voodoo Banshee
3DLabs Permedia 2 (ugly, some serious visual artifacts)
ATI Rage Pro (4MB and 8MB)
ATI Rage128*!&
Intel i740
Matrox G200 &
NVidia Riva128
NVidia RivaTNT*!&
NVidia RivaTNT2*!&
Rendition V2x00 (not very fast, but it works)
S3 Savage3 &

* high performance
! supports stencil volume shadows
& 32-bit rendering
=======================

First off, why would he not rate V2 SLI as "High Performance?" Second, why does he indicate features of the video cards on this list? The "stencil shadows" indication is legit, but the other two are bogus.
