Nvidia doesn't have an AGP part, 3dfx did, and 3dfx made a lot of
sales on it, and if I were 3dfx, I'd wouldn't throw the PCI market
away just yet in an attempt to make the fastest 3d accelerator on the
planet (that can also do my laundry and cook me breakfast).
I believe that Volkswagens were also good sellers in their day...

Considering that next gen cards are just around the corner I would
think getting a V3 over an overpriced TNT2 would be the wisest thing
you can do right now. I don't need 32bit right now and it's a known
fact that F4 runs better on a V3 so when I bought my new computer
recently I requested a V3 for the reasons I mention above.
