Rage3 based cards are Directx6 ones and latest atidadd 4.11.4033 d3d works well, you can use unreal 1 version 226 and it should work, use this driver w98_rpro_4_11_2628_en if 3dcif is not needed, but this driver does not work with 4752 PCI, luckly 4.11.4033 D3D and other 5.40.x atidadd 4.11 d3d drivers works with 5.38.x macxw4 drivers and good D3D/OpenGL/3DCiF driver was possible with some other 3dcif files downgrade for compabilty, so i made my driver starting from Gonas R3 driver and used many other versions on the way, files are also from 2628 , as you know by now, latest OpenGL version for GLQuake is 4.11.1094/4.12.1094, so update to this version. I probably add 1094 opengl to 3dcif driver package, 1068 old, 1094 middle and 1107 latest OpenGL to choose. I would try OpengGL 1073 version out if i can get it somewhere. Directx 6.1/7a fits best, but you can use latest directx9c also. By now, years later we have possiblity to make most out of these rage drivers and rage3 cards.
I tried the 474D bios with rambios.com and it seems to work, it loads without errors and I also tried Duke nuken 3d without any problem, so it may be compatible with these graphics cards but....I tried to program it in the eeprom but it won't start, it doesn't give an image, the same problem the other bios images had.The problem may be due to the type of eeprom that they have, 39SF010A, and I looked up in it's datasheet and it is a 128kx8(125Kilobytes) eeprom, but the bios images we have are all smaller, 32k, 36k and 64k. Another but is the fact that the original Rage XL pci has an AT27C010 that is also 128kx8 so is possible that I'm wrong again.From what little I know of this topic, programming a eeprom with a smaller image is not a guarantee that it will work and that may be the reason why none of the bios images we tried have not worked.Again I don't have the necessary knowledge to advance, so I'll keep trying but I don't have much hope about it.As for the drivers, the most stable and least buggy combination I found for the Rage XL pci 4752 has been the newest driver available but changing using the opengl icd file from version 4.12.2647 since the opengl icd that comes with the Latest driver version has known issues.I've also tried some of the drivers for the rage pro but without any luck so 3Dcif is still unknown to me.These cards are a very god solution for my needs, they are very compatible with d3d and opengl, and support 8 bit palleted textures to my surprise, the original FFVII runs great on then and their performance after the overclock is good from my point of view, in the case of the best one of course ?

I have at the moment M6.12.12-BIG Z (4.13.3007), works well @ 2D, i am not ready to test D3D/OpenGL, now i am just testing slowly out what drivers get me good 2D, not just 16 colors, these windows drivers are at the moment with RAGE XL AGP 2X (English) name, but if driver works, just add RAGE XL PCI to inf file , you can take it from the latest J.50.30.1 inf file also. Only manual driver installation available for these big z modified drivers. 2ff7e9595c
