"The price of a Voodoo II always will include the extra cost for a 2D card."

Granted, but the majority of people buying a 3D add-on accelerator card already _have_ a 2D card. You're paying extra for something you already own, and most of the 2D cards shipping on systems are already pretty good.. 2D/3D cards only make sense in a low price, OEM market, not high-end add-on market, IMO.

CR Lum, to add to what others have already said, the TNT is a whole year behind and is just matching a single V2 for 50% more money. The cost of a 2D card and a V2 is still less than a $300 TNT. Then consider that 3DFX is coming out with the first of several products that will blow TNT and everyone else out of the water for less money. The Banshee. Rampage. Etc. Everyone else is a whole design cycle behind the curve 3DFX is defining.
