it looks like the V3 line has been "expanded" sharkyextreme.com it's nice to see that 3Dfx is positioning the V3-2000 to compete directly with the Savage4 cards in terms of both price and performance. Question: what is the difference between Mtexel and Mpixel? i read somewhere that the conversion rate is 2 Mtexels to 1 Mpixel. And that 3Dfx is touting the the Mtexel label so their paper specs look better than their competition's. If that's the case, doesn't the new TNT2 outperform the V3? (@250 Mpixels/sec) (i'm hoping jason can answer this one, but please no BS ala nVidia style, a bunch of us are engineers here so we can smell the BS even before we see it)
