3DFX is back BABY!!!!!!!

[Generalen]

really?, I haven't missed them.

 

[00aStrOgUy00]

even if it comes back, it can't use it's old technologies, cause it's already bought by nvidia, so it has to come up with new stuff...

 

[kwango]

It's Monday and has anyone seen the official announcement?

Wot not No-one, not nobody!!

Come on guys, i'd love for this to be true but methinks we are clutching at straws.

(forever hopeful that the name of 3DFX will shine again).

 

[Desmoquattro]

Well if anyone actually clicked on dfloyd's link...absolute is making the card as described...black pcb...gold heatsinks...wooden box...but it's a damn GF3.

 

[DaveB3D]

.... Who want to bet that they would have a product out before bitboys Oy


I'll be happy to bet against you...

 

[StormRider]

DaveB3D, what happened to the Beyond3D forums and website?

 

[kylebisme]

well that prety much settles that, and i was just thinking "i wonder where dave is in all of this..."

 

[DaveB3D]

server troubles.. long story, don't ask

should be back soon

well that prety much settles that, and i was just thinking "i wonder where dave is in all of this..."

Dave, while Im sure you are(as allways) under about 5 gazillion NDA's, can you at least tell us, do you personally think the BitBoys will ever come out with a product, or will they just be another of them companies that make alot of fuzz, having promise, but then eventually sends that one last PR about chap 11, and get forgotten?

 

[DaveB3D]

Well being that I work there now, I must have some confidence in our capabilities.

 

[MikeA]

Mmmmm I think I'll be buying some BitBoys stocks soon

 

[Sunner]

<< Well being that I work there now, I must have some confidence in our capabilities >>


Aha, didnt know that, cool, now we can look forwards to lots of oh so annoying hints of products to come

 

[bluemax]

DaveB3D is absorbed. I know a gal in the marketing/promotions/developer relations-type area that was also ex-3dfx. We started chatting before the merger - she was all set to send off 3dfx promotion stuff before the takeover... leaving me high and dry. :| (Certainly not her fault - she's still an awesome gal!) She's working on nVidia to do the same but apparently nVidia is a little tighter with the purse strings...

 

[Finality]

Dave working at BitBoys now?

I find that hilarious!!!!!

So what are we looking at? A June 2004 release date?

 

[bluemax]

What?? I thought I read Dave == nVidia! :Q
Bitboys???? Oy!

 

[DaveB3D]

Ya'll just wait and see...

just wait..

 

[Shudder]

Bitboys oy.. I hear their card is going to power the M2 from 3DO when that comes out.

 

[ElFenix]

wait how long?

and hows the extremetech thing going?

 

[DaveB3D]

I can't say how long.. I know how long, I just can't say it. So I think that is a positive thing though.

Keep in mind that Bitboys is no longer the 3 person company they were for a VERY long time..

 

[ObiDon]

Did they have any luck with this lawsuit?
Bitboys lawsuit

 

[ElFenix]

dave - nothing about extremetech? no comments about working in the corporate computer review world? or was that freelancing?

 

[bluemax]

Anyone else remember when Bitboys got a $3 or 4 million dollar cash infusion from another company? Anyone remember who that was? I forget... I think that little deal may be the backbone of Bitboys Oy today. (They should change that - the initials are BO!) B.O. = Body Odour = stinkiness... not good marketing.

 

[BFG10K]

Hey Dave, good to see you posting again.

Well being that I work there now, I must have some confidence in our capabilities.

I'm interested to see how your stuff will compete in the 3D graphics market. Competition is good for the consumer.

 

[DaveB3D]

That was just freelance. Though I have been offered full-time positions from others.

btw, if anyone is wondering, the reason I was interested in work at Bitboys is that I was doing some contract work for them originally and so I knew what they were up to before hand....

just figured if the guys form 3dfx were building a new card you would be in on it. bitboys is an interesting carrer move thoug. i hope it pans out well for you, and for the rest of us to
