I won't bother with "nextgen" consoles though due to their compulsory subscriber policy . Nothing about nextgen PCs however 😀 I haven't had a new boxed PC game in ages, like since around 2005

What about slightly older drivers for the nvidia? Would Forceware 61.76 work?

There was some bigtime regression for the Geforce2 after 61.xx, in Win9X at least.

You could probably try making a null DLL file for glide3x.dll in the quake3 folder. probably would spout an error before startup though Q3's startup checks for glide3x.dll and sets r_glDriver to 3dfxvgl every time.

Windows 98SE, but I wouldn't recommend doing this on a modern pc instead, find a p4 junker around and put that to good sacrifice. 😀

Matrox G100 Productiva, but it never really was sold as a 3D card, it's better than that Alliance though!! On the bright side it was at least fast and had that quality image output, making a good Millenium substitute to pair a Voodoo / PCX2 with :) its 3d is ok....if you have a bad mip lodbias/ …
