Slow news day on the interwebz, it seems .
What's next, a Beatlesofficials Twitter acccount announcing that John, Paul, George and Ringo are back together and prepping an album ? Sounds legit, quick, stop the (digital) presses!
Seriously, if this is really Nvidia or even a licensee, they are really embracing guerilla marketing and the effort seens amateurish so far, IMHO . But, it is getting talked about, so what do I know ? Maybe new hardware is actually incoming ?
More likely is some third party is making cards with NOS chips trying to make it "big". If that's the case, cool for making new cards, but if that means "3dfx is back" , bravo clickbait and a cease and desist letter is likely incoming from Nvidia, unless Nvidia is somehow onboard with this, which I doubt .
Even more likely is that someone is trying to cash in by selling a supposedly somehow 3dfx related product, maybe not even video card related, with or without required licensing (hopefully with, for their sake). Leaving benefit of doubt, but not hopeful .
Most likely, IMHO, is that this is the work of a bored attention seeker trying to get a rise out of everybody who remembers 3dfx and this "announcement" is a whole lot of nothing . If that is the case, I hope the author gets (and can afford) the kind of help in the mental health department that this kind of behavior suggests is needed ( not a joke, this might be a bizarre but possibly desperate cry for help). Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, just a concerned fellow human .
Maybe I am wrong on all possible and this is something completely different .
