The bell tolling for 3dfx ? Looks like the TNT is going to kick some serious ass. Canopus, Elsa, and STB today announced their Riva TNT based cards. Here's a telling quote from Canopus' press release : " Canopus plans to ... develop its next generation of 3D graphics accelerators based on the RIVA TNT 3D processor technology. "

VooDoo 3? You said: "It's comforting to see that the competition can only bring out an equal or slightly better product to Voodoo 2 (on paper) about 6-9 months after TDFX. As long as they are gunnen' for "last years" leader we should be ok" It took almost two years before the V1 was equaled. Now it's "6-9 months" for the "slightly better" TNT to more than double V2's performance. Now TDFX's engineers must be working feverishly just to equal the Glaze 3D's claimed performance. Remember, TDFX has the lock on Glide, not brilliant engineers.
