Maybe this will help NVidia Riva TNT2 or ATI Rage 128?

Here is an old AnandTech review with them comparing it against a TNT2\V3\G400 on a PIII 450\600.

TNT2 ultra is the winner by a large margin in that review.

Rage 128 has paletted texture and 32-bit color support. It's a real bottleneck with svga or higher modes on DOS games however (it gets choppy once you start playing build engine games at 640x480, and even Doom 95 at 640x480).

rage128 is the same generation as tnt, so no match for tnt2.
the equivalent of tnt2 is rage128pro, however its clock couldn't scale well, so it could only match the standard tnt2 and no tnt2ultra.
performance of both the rage128 and rage128pro drop significantly in win2000/xp, probably due to poor drivers.

For Rage128, paletted texture comes as a 'last resort' option in the drivers actually. It's strongly discouraged to enable it.

Also, the reviews of the cards against each other need to take into account that the Rage128 drivers were infamously immature.

TNT2 also has 32-bit color support. The advantage of Rage 128 in this respect is that performance in 32-bit mode is not as much slower than in 16-bit mode as it is with other cards. Radeons also had this advantage compared to Geforces. IIRC this changed with the bandwitdth saving enhancements Geforce 3 ("Lightspeed Memory Architecture").

Generation is up for a debate. Rage 128 was released in between those and first used 0.25m manufacturing.

That is why I expect some vogoner to rebench them soon 😎
