I'm building a Pentium III system which currently has a Voodoo 3 3000. Ideally I'd prefer to drop the Voodoo 3 and instead get a GeForce 3 or 4. These are quite costly these days however but I found an interesting deal for a HP Nvidia Quadro4 750 XGL which is basically a GeForce 4 Ti 4400 - an ideal card for later Windows 98 games (combined with a Pentium III 1Ghz)
The thing is, the seller mentions the card does not support OpenGL which seems odd to me - he mentions Furmark giving an error but I assume this is because he's using a more recent version? From what I can find the card supports OpenGL 1.3 from 2001 which seems OK to me? Not many games are likely to require OpenGL 2 under Windows 98 SE.
So is this card recommended for this use case? I have zero experience with Quadro cards so was curious if it had certain limitations in terms of gaming.
