I wish GPUs had evolved to be, essentially, CPUs with some specialized graphics-related instructions instead of the fixed-and-parallel soup that modern GPUs are (and i see Nvidia's RTX cores as a regression on that front, GPUs should become more generic, not more specialized). I am sad that Intel's management screwed Larrabee.
The only hope i have for the future is that CPUs will evolve to manycore designs that can realistically support software rendering on hundreds of threads. But we're still far from this.
It ran vQuake, and it had a DirectX driver so it also played most other 3D games at the time, assuming they supported Direct3D
I liked it because you didn't need an additional 2D card, like with the 3Dfx (it basically layered the 3D image onto a 2D image with an extra cable)
However, the Verite had another flaw: it was slow in one of the VGA modes, 320x200x256 if I remember. So games like Doom would run like crap!
Imagine that, you buy a card to make Quake faster, but them Doom runs slower. DOS games were dead at that point, but it was still dissappointing.
