Glide mode:
3Dfx now has a patch that replaces two files in the NFSIII folder (Voodooa.dll and Voodoo2a.dll). According to 3Dfx you should "Download the patch and simply double click on the nfs3patch.exe and the patch will install itself. Once the patch finishes installing, go to the Start Menu, Electronic Arts, Need for Speed III, and select 3D Setup. Once inside 3D setup, select Voodoo Banshee in the 3D Graphics renderer window, select OK and go back to the Start Menu, Electronic Arts, Need for Speed III and select Need for Speed III to launch the game." I observed sound glitches after applying this patch. The dashboard does not appear in the inside the car view. It does run in Glide, although the spinning 3Dfx logo does not appear. It permits a 1024x768 maximum resolution.
