No.  Quake2 is the only one that it really shows.
Also, the TNT is not nearly as good as the Voodoo2 on the K6-2 because of
the lack of any real 3DNow! support in the TNT's drivers.
As you can see by your performance, that 3DNow! web site with the list of
games is a crock of shit.
They will automatically list any game that uses Direct3D, even though it
really doesnt help much at all.  Obviously you have witnessed this with the
Shogo and Blood2 performance.  It needs to be supported by the game engine
and both games should have a patch coming out sometime soon.
Dont fall for the hype of that website.  They list games that dont use
Direct3D and dont have a patch out yet and also games that aren't even in
development yet.
When you hear it from the developers mouth is when it is true.
