In that time, 2D cards were more widely used, and 3D cards were an extra card.

OHHHH! Look at how GOOD Tomb Raider looks on my NEW VooDoo card! Four Megs of Texture memory is AMAZING!
I have that game.
Tomb Raider runs on VGA, and you have the option to run it on SVGA, which looks much better, but somehow isn't as fluid on my PC, despite meeting all the requirements.
I bought my PC in 98, and for not much money I bought a 3DFX Voodoo card with it. Voodoo II was already out, but very expensive, and I wasn't planning to play much games anyway, so I thought a regular Voodoo card would do, which it does. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
However, Tomb Raider can't be run with the Voodoo card unless you have the patch that was made later. Despite being 4 MB VRAM, it makes Tomb Raider look quite good. My only problem with it is that it makes certain places quite dark. :/
