What does this mean for current Nvidia users?

Well, I just hope this means more stability for future games.
I'm sick of not being able to play Deus Ex or Diablo 2 with out
it chugging along like a friggin jalopy! Another example: Giants
has all kinds of bugs-especially for the older voodoo cards.
I have a Cardexpert geforce2mx by the way and I just want to stop
downloading new drivers any time a new game comes out. Do you concur?

Diablo II and Deus Ex was designed for glide. Don't blame NVIDIA or any other 3D company who relies on Direct 3D for that. Unreal Tournament 2 will be written for Direct 3D and Epic signed on to work closely with NVIDIA so it should work best on NVIDIA products. Also, any games written with the Unreal Tournament 2 engine should also work well with NVIDIA products. Deus Ex used the Unreal engine which was written for glide and then ported over to Direct 3D.

All I'm sayin' is that there should be one industry standard for
video. Unfortunately 3dfx and its users payed the price of capitalism.
I use both 3dfx and nvidia some I'm not hatin' on 3dfx. I just have
had headaches because game programmers shouldn't have to design or port
all there games just to meet the respective companies technologies.
