Another TnT review that calls nVidia's bluff is at: anandtech.com A sample: According to the first press releases directly from nVidia, the Riva TNT chipset was supposed to be manufactured using a 0.25 micron process, clocked at 125MHz, and was supposed to be powerful enough to be a Voodoo2-killer because of its 250 Million Pixels per Second fill rate. According to the Canopus Spectra 2500 sitting on the test bench AnandTech reviewed, the Riva TNT chipset was manufactured using a 0.35 micron process, is clocked at 90MHz (although their is a chance of Canopus shipping their boards at 100MHz), and has a fill rate in the range of 190MP/s. Two statements that are almost as different as night and day, and two statements which will end up ruining nVidia's credibility in the future.
