Today it's officially the end of 3DFX. They've sold all of their assets to Nvidia...
Following the sale, 3dfx is effectively a dead company. Just three years ago, the company was at a high-point - we well remember its extravagant Comdex party that year, with Kool & the Gang pumping out the music. |
But then the company messed up - it rested on its design laurels, letting Nvidia steal through the blind side to take the performance crown. And it messed up again, big time, with an ill-advised and hugely expensive plunge into the retail card market - alienating its OEM customers in the process. Soon the company is to be no more. Who will notice, when it's gone?
Personally I don't like this. Without 3DFX competition for NVidia is getting really low and that ain't good for the prices.... I hope that Kyro and Ati survive...
nb. I know this news isn't burn-related but since many cdfreaks play games (I wonder where they get those ) I guess they are quite intrested....
