I have a Voodoo3 and I have tried playing the game in D3D and Glide.  The
D3D looks to have better frame rates, and the Glide looks just a tad better.
I thought the V3 3000 was suppose to be faster in Glide than D3D.  Does
anybody have any info on this. It doesn't matter to me I'll just play in
whatever mode has the fastest frame rates.  Also I haven't bothered to
overclock my card.

It's really dependent on the game.  Glide in general will run faster than
D3D, but if they didn't program it right it could well be the opposite.
Before I gave up on it for other things, EA's Madden 99 looked and played
better in D3D than Glide on my single V2.  But in F1RS the Glide mode was
much much faster / better looking than D3D.

In SCGT on my Voodoo3 it seems to run a bit better in D3D also, so it's
nothing wrong with the card, just the implementation in that particular
game.
