I don't think so given that 3D cards are put into all major PCs sold in shops
as packages these days, and a 3Dfx card costs as little as 50quid new.
A year ago Turok was one of the first 3Dfx-only games I saw in the shops,
so the number can only grow.

Otherwise, games would still be ported back down to the ZX Spectrum.
ZX Spectrum Quake II anyone?
