Some of you might have read it previously, but it was new to me.

3Dfx rocks!

Nice article, brings back memories.

If they were still made today I would still buy them over stinking AMD/Ati and Nvidia's. 😁
By the way it was one of the most brutal takeovers I have ever seen, once Nvidia tookover 3Dfx they just vanished, no conitinued driver support, no consumer support, nothing. 🙁
Never understood how this could have passed by any anti trust board as I think Microsoft played a big part in all of this.
