Actually, I'm quite sure about the 512x384 resolution thing - I remember it well because that's the only resolution at which my good old P2 350 with 256 MB of RAM would run Unreal 1 smoothly. Maybe it had something to do with my monitor's supported resolution modes?
As the the Riva TNT being more powerul, well 5 mins of Google and I can't find any old benchmarks and reviews, so I hope I'm right:)
I remember the good old days, when you got a free copy of POD Racer with your 3DFX Voodoo card, and then your eyes popped out with the visual brilliance of the 3D accelerated graphics:)
Even today, very few games have made me react like I did ("OMG lookit that!") to the Voodoo driven games of yesteryear - did anyone here run Unreal 1 in "software" and then in "glide" and compare the experience?
Back then, we thought that the Trident, nVidia Riva TNT and Cirrus Logic graphics cards were crap compared to the 8 MB overpowered Voodoo 1, which let you run games full screen at 512x384:)//ends nostalgia trip and thanks the lord for his nVidia 7400 Geforce Go
