the way i see it, the best 3d card should be the nvidia 128bit dubberys,
But - i get the impression that they only are supported generally in direct
3d, which is meant to be pants? could someone put me right? thanks,

Yup, both nVidia Riva 128 and the new TNT are only supported via D3D
or OpenGL. Usually native Glide (and sometimes even Rendition)
versions (eg Unreal, NFS3, GPL) are faster, better effects, and so on.
However, it depends on the games you want to play. If you want to play
Unreal or GPL (or Flightsimulators like DID's F22 TAW), a V2 is
definitely the better choice, although TNT offers higher resolutions.
But neither Unreal nor GPL run with TNT's in accelerated mode "out of
the box", i.e. without (beta-) patches.
