Because I am a 3dfx stock holder, I felt loyal to their products, however,
loyalty is one thing, and performance is another. The V3-3000 went back and
put in a TNT2 Ultra and reinstalled the V2. I am now happy again. I got
the GP Super Bikes included with the Viper 770 ultra and found that it is a
very entertaining game with stunning graphics running on the TNT 2 card. I
just hope the Creative TNT2 card doesn't blow away the Viper when it comes
out.
3Dfx's Banshee and V3 products have been disappointing. If I were nVida, I
would be concerned about the pending lawsuits on patient infringement. The
Voodoo 2 was a quantum leap in technology and maybe nVida took some
liberties with 3Dfx patients. Competition is good and raises the bar in
video performance, however, patient violation is not good. I went ahead
and bought the TNT2 based on the premise that 3Dfx has to prove their case
in a court of law first. If 3Dfx wins their two lawsuits, the nVida stuff
gets tossed on principle. Of course, it would be nice to be a profitable
stock holder!
I agree. I work in conjunction with a hospital and I am pretty sure the
patients don't like being infringed or violated.
