I would choose a 3Dfx card just because it is the only chipset that supports
Glide.  TNT and TNT2 may run Open GL and Directx faster and better, but they
won't run Glide at all and never will.  There are still many new games that
are released that ONLY support glide 3D accelleration and with any other
card other than 3Dfx, you will be left out in the cold 2D world.

Also, take a look at your game library and games you are planning on buying
and see if they only support  3Dfx.
