Without starting a flame war, I think you've got that backwards.

It was nvidia that cared for the customers.

3DFx drove themselves out of business by refusing to keep up with the times. They tried to create a monopoly in the video card industry with GLide.

Nvidia were the ones that pushed the industry forward and made it what it is today.

If Nvidia had lost out to 3DFx, we'd be using video cards with 100 VSA-100 chips and still playing in 16bit color.

Wow, a 3dfx vs. nVidia flame war? :Q
Haven't seen that in ages, might be nostalgically fun, J/K

Don't mean to resurrect an old post, but I finally put my Voodoo2's back into the service. I built a junker box with Win98se running on for vintage games, but really, it's just for sentimental purposes.

You believe it's been 10 years since gamers were introduced to this in-game scene?

I used to run that game on a Pentium 166 and a Voodoo 3. God, has it really been ten years already?

Ten years? I posted these Unreal screenshots last June.
