Voodoo (and Voodoo 2) are just 3D accelerators. You have to use a regular video card in the system. Just select the Trio64.

If you're in Windows, then you have to install the appropriate 3dfx drivers: https://3dfxarchive.com/3dfx.htm

I have Voodoo installation videos in my channel (Diamond drivers).. 😃

Some quick info:
Direct3D support in early Voodoos isn't best, it's more of an afterthought. Glide has priority.
It's like with S3 ViRGE maybe, which works better with its own API too (S3D).
Direct3D v5 is the max. for both cards, I think.
It highly depends on the drivers.

Thanks for answers .
Is pcem or 86box performs better than real hardware ? Always think about that.
