<< I don't see ATI or NVIDIA with chips any newer than ones 3dfx has released.. >>
I'll have to agree with Hardware here.
3dfx - Voodoo 4 4500/Voodoo 5 5500
Technically, the GeForce 2 GTS is newer than the Voodoo 5 5500, b/c the V5 was supposed to be released around the time of the GeForce 256 DDR. After that we have GeForce 2 Pro, GeForce 2 MX, and GeForce 2 Go.
As for ATi, the Radeon is fresher silicon than the 5500. So that gives the Radeon 64DDR, 32MB DDR, 32 SDR, VE, and All-in-Wonder Radeon. All newer than the 5500.
So basically, how can anyone else NOT have anything newer than a year old 5500?
