WTF? You treat this like it's an isolated incident! Like I said before, you have a sick obsession with bashing 3Dfx, and you won't let the issue drop. THAT'S why you're getting flamed.


In the last three weeks:
Where it all began - Rumor has it that 3dfx has a new trick up their sleeve, and it has something to do with this:

Posts started by Hardware about 3Dfx-
Awesome news about the 3dfx V6000 (big problems! + link + near conformed!)
LOL 3dfx again kicked its own butt ---- V6000 is history!!!
ATi, Nvidia with new chips 3dfx with a new interview !
3dfx all the way down new retail price for V5500 is $199/$189 !!!
Official statement from 3dfx ceo why v6000 has been droped!
The reason why the V6000 could run at 65FPS !!!
First results with V5500 and beta HSR drivers !!!! <------ OMG! He didn't bash 3Dfx!
4X FSAA benchmark PIII600 : GTS VS 5500 VS GP-1!
3dfx V5 6000 is out from Quantum only $8.000 LOL !!!
New interview with Brian Hook (ex 3dfx) !!!

My personal favorite - World has changed my 3dfx war is over !!! (First posted over two weeks ago!)

The thing that bogles my mind is. Why does he bash them so much if he doesn't even work ATi,Nvidia,Matrox or anyother company of the consumer graphics industry. What is he gaining out of this really, Money? If there were no competition in the graphics industry then we probably still be stuck here with the old ass tnt2 not even an ultra @ 8,000 bucks.

Dammit, where's Ulysses (Edit: Wingnuts pointed out it was Sohcan) when you need him. He hasn't updated the General Hardware's Great Neffing of 2000 list in quite some time:p. The recent rash of Hardware posts should be incentive enough to do so.

Can somebody please help out? Sohcan where are you!? :frown:

Oh keep in mind, a few of the threads from the old anand forums were not started by Hardware. Those are easily distinguishable by the apparent lack of !!!! at the end of the title.

This is just stupid, if Hardware would be here bashing 3dfx then you should bash him but he was just posting news. If I would have don this and quoted the same things he quoted would you have bashed me?

Its like you all would start to bash paulson for all his nefing when he first started using these forums. Bash at the right moment, this is not the right moment.

Hardware: But your IQ is > 100, right? I mean bashing is something, but attacking someone personally is a &quot;no go&quot;, and Wingznut is one of the most reliable persons in the forum, that's my opinion....

Imagine a GeForce owner:
(Friend) Let's play NFS.
(GF User) Wait lemme switch to 6.321 driver..
(Friend) Then play Unreal...
(GF User) Wait I have to switch to 5.177 driver...
(Friend) Alright just play Quake.
(GF User) Wait I better use 6.022 driver for better framerates.
(Friend) Nevermind. What's your 3DMark?
(GF User) Wait I need to download driver 6.51 for 50 higher marks.
(Friend) Forget it, let's check out my homepage.
(GF User) Wait I gotta lower the resolution and refresh rate because the text is all fuzzy.

Taz4158: or you can run the same drivers for months with desktop resolution set to 1920x1440 and run all games at 1280x1024 on your GTS, hmmm, come to think of it that's what i'm doing ... quite different from the skewed and biased scenario you presented, isn't it?
