This! The i740 was my first "real" 3D graphics card - I remember running the Final Reality benchmark on it and feeling genuinely excited with the purchase.
After that I got the Riva TNT (Diamond Viper V550 iirc) which changed everything from a consumer point of view. Good times.

i740 was outright good (8MB models only) compared to bottom of low end market at the time. Permedia, Sis, Ati Rage Pro Turbo, Cirrus Logic Laguna3D, anything Trident.
