Originally, GPL only supported 3dfx and Rendition 3D graphics cards. So now
you have replaced your Voodoo with an unsupported card GPL has reverted to
the software rasteriser. What You need is the Direct 3D or OpenGL rasteriser
which allows GPL to use other 3D cards. I find the OpenGL rasteriser to give
better performance with my Geforce3 card but I don't know which will be best
for your Radeon. The best bet is to install both and see which is best.
You can get them both here
http://gplpp.com/ under utilities. Then select D3D Rasteriser and OpenGL
rasteriser fix
Note: there was a bug in the original OpenGL patch so you want the one at
the bottom of the screen that has been modified by Willi Herrman.

I also went from a V3 to a 9700pro. Aside from the menu corruption
issue in GPL (mostly fixed in the 3.1 drivers), the card is fantastic and
runs every game I've tried perfectly.
