That's not "smoke". It's supposed to be water splash from the wet road. You can see the actual tire smoke @ ~0:36 when the car lands in the covered bridge after the jump. It also exists in software mode btw

the glide version looks better in every appreciable way; it's got better color and lighting, better texture resolution, better particle effects like the snow and tire smoke, and of course, higher framerate. The software renderer looks more like the PS1 version. Voodoo+Glide was truly next-generation, next-level shit in its heyday. I miss my old Voodoo 3 3000 PCI,so thanks for the upload! Subbed!

I guess people feel smarter when they say software looks better. But let's say it's subjective... What is objective however is the fact that back then without a 3D accelerator the framerate would have been terrible. Playable software mode is only possible with newer CPUs that weren't available when the game came out.

Abit BE6-II, Pentium3 500mhz, crucial 2x256mb pc133 cl2, 3dfx voodoo3 2000 16mb agp2x, creative sb pci128, perhaps i'll give that Amigamerlin2.9 driver a try some time. EDIT: Apparently i was still using D3D mode, i found out i had to install the required NFS3 update so that it actually uses glide, now i get the snow capped mountains seen in the back ground.

This is the main reason EA severed their ties with Sega completely. After Sega dropped 3DfX from producing Dreamcast hardware(code named "Blackbelt") EA's stocks plummeted significantly due to their brand value being shambles after Sega withdrew their stocks from them. So out of spite, EA made an ultimatum for. If Sega gives EA exclusive rights to be the only ones to male sports games for Dreamcast, they would let the whole 3DFX situation slide. But if Sega refused, the relationship between the two companies was over; permanently. The ladder would be the one Sega chose and the rest as we know it, is History

Microsoft had a couple of 3D accelerated Direct 3D Games out before the first 3Dfx Voodoo 1 cards were released. They were Monster Truck Madness and Hellbender. They had a 3D accelerated mode in the options menu. They look a lot better than in software mode. Ironically one needed a Voodoo 1 card or a Rendition card to be able to play them. Yes Glide or OpenGL looked better than Direct 3D for a couple of years.

Quality wise, not a huge difference is it. 3dfx version makes everything more blue, textures blurry (go bilinear filtering), and I guess the particles effects look better and that's about it. I'm sure the biggest and most impactful change at the time was performance - Software version must have run like crap on 1998 CPUs.
