Bit of googling and Turok was one the first pc games that abandoned software renderer.

Thanks, long time ago i have played Redline Racer. MotoRacer from 1997 is better game from my point of view, but it has software rendering.

moto racer has direct3d 3 renderer (3d acceleration) and software renderer.

I have a question: do you have a list with all games for 3d Labs Permedia 2?
I suppose Permedia 2 had its own API just like Rendition had RRedline or 3dfx had Glide?

I think it's just opengl and d3d api support no proprietary api support for games except cgl api compatibilty for one game

Creative Labs surprisingly avoided first Permedia, but they came back to 3Dlabs for the second. By that time the CGL API was history, so there is no 3D Blaster compatibility with exception of Battle Arena Toshinden 2.5.

When second-generation Permedia arrived in the market in the fall of 1997 with support for both Direct3D and OpenGL,
