I had a Riva TNT at the time, and a friend's Voodoo... 2? sure ran Half-Life better than my card. The Voodoo 2 probably really was the better GPU at the time. Later games required later APIs (unsupported by older cards) - and much higher performance - anyway, so longevity was not much either way.

It depended on the game, as well. It wasn't uncommon for titles to be optimized specifically for Glide, so they'd run slower under OGL/D3D. In general it wasn't until Riva TNT2 that NVIDIA became the card of choice for gaming.
