Same thing happened with various 3DFX Voodoo cards. I remember they were considered inferior to nVidia cards at the time, but now they've achieved an almost cult status in the retro community.
Can confirm, I was shocked at the image quality and speed of the voodoo 3 when I got one semi-recently. It’s now one of my favorite cards.
I think a lot of people never got to try them side by side. You’re right at the time the nvidia cards were considered superior, but in retrospect even in the benchmarks the voodoo series is superior in many ways. Kinda crazy that they didn’t succeed.
