TNT isn't that much superior to Voodoo2 in the end. It didn't quite make the clock speeds they hoped to reach. The 32-bit color mode has a nearly 50% speed impact. Trilinear filtering was fake for awhile ("fast trilinear" looks like alpha stipple). And the uphill battle against games designed mainly for Voodoo cards wasn't helpful.
Some TNT cards are also blurry and could have color problems too thanks to cheap board manufacturers.
