I have fond memories of playing Quake 2 for some time and then buying a Voodoo card. It suddenly looked like a totally different game. It wasn’t just the resolution and texture filtering - Quake 2 in GL mode used a totally different, dynamic lightning system and back then it was simply stunning.

Yes, day and night. I specifically bought my 3dfx accelerator card to boost Psygnosis Formula 1. Adding the card was like switching from C64 to an future PC monster.

I never again experienced such a phenomenal gap in visible performance. Happy times.
