In this case grab the Nvidia product or an ATI product. 3DFX is dead, its very unlikley that DirectX 's coming iterations will support the V4/5 or that any bugs discovered with the windows drivers for the V4/5 will get fixed. That said pretty much any OpenGL based game that runs under Linux or that Unix'y source code is available for can either run under emulation or be ported. So far I've seen quake3 and UT for linux both work under emulation with the DRI. I haven't checked any of the productivty stuff like "blender".
