I downloaded and installed the patch from your link. No difference in anything.
Doom made 3D work because it had a library of sprites drawn from every angle stored in a thing called a WAD file if I remember correctly.
Correct.
Let's recap:
Brand-new, high-end video card: Radio 5570.
Barely any noticeable difference... SOME difference, but not very much on WoW and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
Older 3D games (Jedi Knight, Duke Nukem 3D, Return to Castle Wolfenstein) no longer work right. Jedi Knight plays, but has the above-documented display craziness. Neither Duke nor Wolf will launch at all.
HalfLife, oddly enough, runs fine.
All of them ran fine before the new video card.
