We don't have to look up anything in Byte magazine to know that the only
two 3d cards being totally supported at the moment are the Voodoo and
Rendition based cards. Mystique is still ok because of its great 2d.
PowerVr is an outside bet. Anything else doesn't cut it. (we wait for
Pyramid and Permedia)

My proof? Anything except, apparently, Byte magazine. Surf round Deja
News or look at some other magazines. Or just find out which cards
support Quake, Tomb Raider and Descent2.
