In fact there were reports that Canopus was offering them together as a bundle for a total of $299.00. However, I just went to their site and could find no information on it. Both cards appear to be offered for $179.00 each. The Total 3D(Rendition Verite chipset) offers stereoscopic 3D glasses and 3D sound which the other Rendition cards(Sierra, Intergraph, Creative Labs) do not. The Pure 3D(3DFX Voodoo chipset) has 6MB total of memory(4 megs of texture memory and 2 for the frame buffer), as well as composite and S-Video TV output. Canopus is currently taking orders for the Pure3D, and it is expected to ship at the end of the month. I have an Intergraph Intense 3D(2D/3D Rendition) and a Diamond Monster 3D(3DFX) and it does give the best of both worlds if you love Indycar 2 and Nascar 2.
