What's the final arcade game tailor made with custom hardware that looked better than anything on PC or console?
Is it Virtua Fighter 3 and the Model 3?
I think that was the last big investment in custom hardware before the price of RAM dropped way down and 3DFX made a ton of headway with PC graphics cards.
Even by 1998-99, PC arguably had the best and most ambitious games and anything it couldn't do, Dreamcast did just fine (running games like 3rd Strike)

are you sure you want to use that as an example of graphical fidelity

You could replace 3rd Strike with any high-end 2D arcade game from the late 90s/early 2000s and Dreamcast (as well as PS2, Xbox, etc) could handle a perfect conversion of it.
1-2 years before Dreamcast, Street Fighter 3 and Virtua Fighter 3 were both too advanced for home consoles, PC gaming wasn't yet up to spec, and the most advanced 2D console of the time (Saturn) could barely run Metal Slug with special RAM carts.
