RG100, you have one of these yet? 😁
I've always been fascinated by this semi-defective GPU. It was supposed to outperform GeForce 256 but the drivers were rather nasty and the T&L is broken. But the chip does work in games to varying degrees of success and it is a 2x2 pipeline design so it is fairly fast compared to TNT2 or G400. I remember that S3 had a Quake 3 event and that their drivers were essentially designed for Quake 3 initially. And it also runs the S3 Metal API so it is a great UT/Unreal card and can run the S3TC textures.
The T&L is disabled by default but with some registry tweaking you can try it out. It does seem to be borked though. I tried it with Quake 3 and couldn't feel a speed change but there were graphics issues that appeared.
