TnT SLI does worry me because it puts Nvidia indisputedly on TOP of the speed performance curve for power hungry gamers for the next few months (until Rampage).

Let's be honest, 3dfx was MADE by Quake players who wanted the fastest greatest hardware money can buy (voodoo1, voodoo2 SLI, etc.).

Voodoo3 was a mediocre stop-gap measure to regain the performance lead, but now with SLI TnT/TnT2, the hard-core gamer who is willing to shell out whatever it takes to get the fastest machine, will buy Nvidia instead of Voodoo3.

This is a sad news for 3dfx. The sad thing was Metabyte (makers of Wicked 3d) engineers were big-time Pro-3dfx before they were forced to turn to Nvidia because of the STB merger.
