Tom's Hardware ( tomshardware.com ) has a new review on the ATi Rage Fury. He doesn't like it very much. He slams 3Dfx in it as well and does all comparisons to TNT: "The most important thing about Rage 128's 3D performance under 32-bit color is that is proves Scott Sellers and whole 3Dfx wrong. When Voodoo3 was presented 3 weeks ago, 3Dfx apologized for the missing 32-bit color rendering ability of Voodoo3 by claiming that 32-bit color rendering was 'anyway a frame rate killer' and thus pointless. I guess Scott and his colleagues have to learn a lesson from ATI, 32-bit color rendering is NOT a frame rate killer. ATI's engineers are up to it and seemingly the technicians from 3Dfx are not. Anyway, in 32-bit rendering Rage 128 is currently as good and as fast as it gets." Michael
