Larry, even if TNT is the champ of "current" accelerators for Quake III....big deal. The game is not anywhere near being released. By the time it is released 3Dfx will have Voodoo Rampage (or whatever it will be called) out and it will kick TNT's ass. I'm not going to worry about this too much. However, feel free to continue your bearish ways.

Best of luck,

Alex

Larry you said:

"Heres's something for all you naysaying TNT bashers to chew on.
Brian Hook at ID Software" said......."TNT the champ out of our current crop of accelerators. "

To which I post:

Chew on this TDFX shorts and TnT fans. It appears that Brian has not put Banshee or V2 SLI through the same test. Lest we forget that Quake III Arena is a multiplayer game only and speed is what counts. Let's see who is champ at Christmas. I think that is the turning point for the coming year.

Brian Hook Quake III TNT Clarification [1:34 PM EDT]
A .plan update from Brian Hook clarifies the post he made earlier (story) about comparisons to TNT's Quake III Arena performance:

This is why I hate plan updates. I do an update, then I get 7000 e-mails asking me questions. Okay, clarification: performance comparisons so far have NO included Banshee (due to lack of drivers) or V2 SLI (since we don't have a board near our test machine).
