Poor Nvidia, ATI is kicking there butt! I remember 3DFX was like the main video card company. Then Nvidia kicked there butt! And now, its ATI's turn What do you think

I agree with you...

I used to have a 3DFX voodoo3 card, and it is incredible how long that thing pulled it's weight as the flight simulators I use evolved.

Same here, I had a voodoo 3 & that thing ran alot of games for the longest time.

I still have my old V3 2000 up in my closet. I used it for Tribes (glide).

The 3dfx specific API(glide) is not only no longer used, but it's not near as powerful as D3D / OpenGL (and we all know how much 3dfx cards liked OpenGL)

Same here but mine is a PCI card. Tribes was a good game!
