Whoa, JAG. Take your time and READ Pat's post (ie. think). Where did you come from and exactly why are you here posting in such confrontational language, anyway? Take the flames to YAHOO where they belong.

JAG, this is the "speed" I was talking about...

biz.yahoo.com

Banshee outsold TNT at retail. Voodoo3 will outsell TNT2 at retail. Neither deserves those sales from a technical standpoint and benchmarks won't tell you the whole picture. Trust me, this is a GOOD thing. If 3dfx had only their technology to rely upon we'd be getting murdered at retail right now. If 3dfx is doing so well with these products, how do you think they'd do with a product that actually kicked serious butt?

JAG,

We value documented, well reasoned opinions on this thread. Do you have anything of substance to contribute about 3dfx or the graphics industry in general? So far, your comments appear as emotional, personal attacks on Pat. Is that what you really intended?

The TDFX is 2 or 3 times faster. I have read just about every review posted on the Internet. Please show me the one where TDFX is 2 or 3 times faster.

First of all, Pat was referring to sales, not speed. But if you don't believe in the speed part:

<sigh> Ah, the good old days ..

Incidentally, this is the most ridiculous 3D roundup I've ever read. Was there ever a time when Tom WASN'T an egregiously partisan jackass?
