Video Card(s) ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

I tried PCem and DOSBox. PCem is slow and has bugs in games. All games running slow. Windows 98 in DOSBox is faster but many games doesn't work and it's not stable. VMware and VirtualBox doesn't support 3D in Windows 9x. Is there any other emulator for Windows 98 which support Direct3D/3DFX Voodoo? I have latest Windows 10 version and less old games working (installer).

You can try wine. Some people use wine on windows to make old programs and games to run on modern windows.
