Tom's Hardware Guide does a review of 3DNow! enabled 3D adapters on Super 7 motherboards:

It seems that the TNT2 takes the lead for DirectX games like Expendable, followed by Matrox G400 MAX and Voodoo3. For OpenGL games like Quake 2, Voodoo3 takes the lead followed closely by TNT2.

However, Tom did run into stability problems. A quote from the article:

Unfortunately, we've been working on this article for several weeks now. What should have taken several days turned out to be quite time consuming. Getting an Nvidia TNT2 based board to work in an ALI-V based motherboard along with getting a Voodoo3 clocked at 183MHz to work on the FIC PA-2013 with an AMD-K6 III 450MHz was nothing more than amusing.
