For some reason, I always think that Descent II came out around the same time as DOOM, but then I remember that Descent II was one of the first games to support 3D accelerator cards.
I was so excited when I got my ViRGE. Then I tried playing games with it. Mechwarrior II came with it but you had to run at 512x384 and even then it didn't run great. My next video card was a 3dfx Voodoo and I was in heaven.
My second GPU was a Rendition 2200. I was pretty upset, to be honest. I had asked for a 3dfx Voodoo for Christmas, and was given the Rendition instead.
It was mostly worthless. At the time, games were almost all using the Glide API.
Pretty sure it came with my S3 VIRGE.
