Although an official OpenGL driver for S3 Virge cards has never been released, there were multiple OpenGL wrappers for Quake games. The video shows full 3D acceleration in GLQuake and Quake II games.
S3 Virge/GX2 with 4MB SGRAM (99MHz)
GLQuake 640x480 (DX5) timedemo = 15.4 fps
GLQuake 640x480 (DX6, bilinear filtering) timedemo = 10.0 fps
Quake2 320x240 timedemo = 14.9 fps

S3 Virge/DX 2MB EDO RAM (75MHz):
GLQuake 640x480 (DX5) timedemo = 10.6 fps
