Fun stuff: shugashack.com Analysis of Brian Hook's latest benchmark results. V3 fairs very well and it looks like 3dfx has a bug in the way the drivers currently handle dynamic lighting. Chip stockcharts.com

New pricing on Dell Website for graphics cards... 8 MB ATI XPERT 98D AGP 16 MB Diamond Viper TNT 3D AGP [+$26] 16 MB 3DFX Voodoo3 3000D AGP [+$55] 32 MB Diamond Viper v770D NVIDIA AGP [+$114] (The last two cards are also labeled as NEW.) commerce.us.dell.com IMHO, this pricing looks quite reasonable. Customers will need to spend an additional $55 to get Voodoo3 performance. In order to get a TNT2 they will need to spend another $59. I believe that 3dfx will get the lion's share of the upgrades. The situation should improve when the Voodoo3 3500TV is offered <g>. The also sell a separate STB PCI TV/FM Tuner Card [$109]. Joel PS Maybe 3dfx is promoting the Voodoo3 3000 for OEM deals because the market demand exceeds supply and the yields have been better than expected.
