Not sure if this post will be of any interest to anybody, but anyway.
For the reasons that’s outside of the scope of this topic, I assembled an unusual PC a week ago, with a relatively modern CPU (Ryzen 9 3900X 12 core from 2019) and outdated GPU (GeForce GTX 770 from 2013).

In conclusion I can only repeat the title: it seems llvmpipe is now in a good shape for quite a few 20+ years old games…
