Brian Burke: Well, the pros far out way the cons. My transition has been really easy. Before 3dfx purchased STB (3dfx purchases STB, then Gigapixel, then sells assets to Nvidia...confused?) I was with STB for three years. STB was one of the largest customers for NVIDIA, starting with the RIVA128 and up to the TNT2. As a result, I have known a lot of my NVIDIA coworkers for years. I have been friends with Derek for a long time, even during the bitter "knife-fight" years 😉. When you start at some companies, you can usually tell the good workers from the bad workers pretty quickly. At NVIDIA, everybody in the building is awesome at his or her job.
I thought STB never made a tnt2... http://www.sharkyextreme.com/hardware/articles/nvidia_interview_3dfx_rip/
