You must have missed Tony Tomasi's latest (validated) post about the V3: "Currently Voodoo3 3500 delivers approximately 36 fps at 1600x1200 in Quake2 timedemos." After a couple more driver-tweaks, that means 1600x1200 @ 40+ fps! People have not fully grasped that significance of that. Until Rampage ushers in the true "Next Generation," resolution is the battleground and TDFX has just seized the high-ground. Will this win them OEM contracts? Your guess is as good as mine, but 3Dfx isn't falling behind anyone at this point. Anyone who thinks they are has fallen for the nVidia hype-machine. One of the dangers of being the leader is that you disclose your specs first and then everyone gets to take pop-shots at it. But the proof is in what actually ships. BTW, nVidia sent me a very nice invitation to their TNT2 party at CGD next month. I guess then we will really see if they can match the V3's raw power. Chip stockcharts.com
