New 3DVideoCards=Another 'Standards' War??

It sounds like, and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, that the new 3D
accel video cards from Creative Labs and Diamond handle texture mapping
in different ways.  If this is true, then programs will have to be
written 'chip specific' wont they??  Both Creative Labs AND Diamond
are claiming that Papyrus has 'endorsed' their respective technologies.
Since I seriously doubt that we're going to start seeing
different versions of the same program, what gives??

For now, without Win95 API's available the first generation will have
hardware/software specific stuff.
