@SonicAnimator1 Actually there is some truth there- If you look at what was going on in the 99-00 timeframe 3dfx was on the verge of winning a lawsuit against NV for a large patent infringment. NV just buried 3dfx under lawyers and 3dfx threw in the towel. 3dfx *did* get sloppy, no doubt about it which gave NV the opening they needed. Those who argue about "speed vs image quality" clearly were not gamers during this period. Pre-TNT NV product output looked like total ass, TNT was dirt slow.

i heard the company went bankrupt because there was some pretty lavish spending going on...

@SonicAnimator1 Yeah, I tend to have them with idiots. I'm in treatment for that.

@NordicRuneProject I dont have any problems, you have
-
@SonicAnimator1 Yeah, good to see you know how to keep things into perspective. I bet your friends love to have (civil) discussions with you.
Your problem, not mine.

@NordicRuneProject I don't care about criminalizing. nvidia just ripped of 3dfx and that's all i can say.
1997 is hardly vintage???

3dfx has been closed since 1999, what were you expecting?

I wonder what happened to these people. I was so sad when the 3Dfx brand died. Perhaps some of them moved to Nvidia?

Nvidia snapped up a large number of engineers, some went to ATI too.
