The Virge was the lowest of the low-end budget cards with hardware 3D back in the day, and it's performance reflects that.  Any Voodoo will run rings around it.

I would love to see someone develop a new Zorro-based graphics card for Amigas with a modern graphics chipset.  Of course developing the hardware is only half the problem, then there's getting legacy software to work with it, writing Warp 3D drivers and Picasso 96 (or Cyber GraphX) 2D drivers.  I don't think it will ever happen.
