Power VR2 (Power VR extreme) is the only support chipsets, not the older Power VR

incorrect. PowerVR Extreme's just a marketing label (usually associated with their GLQuake MiniGL driver, but sometimes applied like 'powervr ready' for the PCX2).

some game developers in 1998 had done some support for the then-upcoming PowerVR SG card before that got delayed into 1999's Neon250, so old remnants about PowerVR2/PowerVRSG/SGL2 in 98 games are all premature and can't work with the PCX1/2 cards (and not guaranteeing Neon250 either). PowerVR1 (PCX1/2) lacks blending functions and will fail the caps check, so FF7 can't work with it, despite some magazine reviews claiming it has PowerVR support.

(mentions of PowerVR2 doesn't help the issue of dreamass speculation either.)

Thanks for the clarification, text was taken from that support site, i have not tested FF7 myself on any PowerVR card (removed PowerVR text, link still there).

Minimally 4MB 3D cards are supported in D3D
Supported ATi3D chipsets, readme has full list

ATi3D Rage Pro

ATi3D Rage II

I have flickering issue at car shadows with some of the dirver car views, but not all of them at Test Drive 5. Newer game like Test Drive 6 or Demolition Racer has no issues for me.
Whats bit strange that Demolition Racer readme states that it has no support for ATi Rage Pro, like Xpert@Play, but the game runs and works fine, at least with ATi Rage XL card.

Someone knows how to get rid of these glitches behind the driver car and its only in this Test Drive 5 game.
Tested it with many different Rage Pro driver. I have used it with original and updated version of this game.

Visible here and in many other TD5 videos out there
