I had a G400 Max and a TNT2 Ultra at the same time. The G400 fixed a lot of OpenGL issues, at least in Quake3. The image quality (RAMDAC) was MUCH better than the TNT2 I had.I ran a G400 Max, really loved that card

You're right, although boot became MaximumPCThat was MaximumPC
I remember when the MGA Matrox Millennium was the best SVGA card money could buy, in large part to their class leading RAMDAC's
Sadly I didn't have the foresight to keep some of my older stuff. Would have been fun to still have it.
Here is the oldest I have left:

Those are two v3's on the top?
They need fans. Voodoo3 2000s run stupid hot with those tiny heatsinks, even the 3000 and 3500 heatsinks are inadequate. I have fans either mounted or blowing on mine when running them.

Yeah, GLQuake was the first time I remember properly rendered 3D FPS being a thing.
MechWarrior II was one of the games with an early patch for my Matrix Mystique 3D back then as well as I recall.
There was also some motorcycle game that came with the Mystique, that was 3D "light" reminiscent of something you'd see on a first gen PlayStation. I do recall that motorcycle game being the first time I felt smooth framerates though!
Edit:
After some googling I am fairly certain that the motorcycle game that shipped with my European Matrox Mystique version was Moto Racer.
I remember it being somewhat of a boring game, but at the same time I remember being very impressed with the smooth framerate for the time.
