There's some who hunt the pcx cards because it's the chip before the one the dreamcast had and some weird fantasy about dc games that never came out (or exist) that official dreamcast magazine would make up rumors about because windows ce clearly is the same windows as 95, right /s
The looking different is all in the lack of blending functions and depth buffers. Tile rendering was only 'ahead of the time' because it's a practical method held down by a patent.
as for 3dfx....... 90s 3dfx rarity is a facade. It's often forgotten how ubiquitous they were, it'd be like calling a Sound Blaster 16 rare.
