Why is 3dfx so tight lipped?

[Hardware]

Take the facts
3dfx is out of money
rampge is far away
gp is far away
after the price cuts 3dfx cant survive with the v5500 alone
rumours are floating everywhere 3dfx will go out of business
v6000 was a big desaster too
conferencecall is without any private investor (=desaster)
use gp tech in software (hsr) dont work out
right now demanding games are comming out (too much for a v5500)
v4500 is now a virtual noseller

on the other side ATi and Nvidia (after a delay) are right on track
we can expect nv20,radeonii soon

Hehe. A**hole

Ive said this many times. the only good product 3dfx ever made was the voodoo 2. Why didnt they just keep up with that type of 3d addon card? I hate having get rid of a good card every time I want to stay on the cutting edge.

 

[Mem]

OK I will bite, Hardware why do you dislike, hate 3DFX so much,please give a honest answer if possible.

 

[Marty]

Oyeve: What was wrong with teh Voodoo 1? It had an even longer life than the V2, and was even further ahead of the competition at the time. Regarding 3dfx's other products, it could be argued that they were on a relative par in terms of real world performance with competitors at the time. But, I'm not going to make it.

Why is hardware so tight lipped? Oh, nevermind, those aren't his lips. Wrong orifice.

 

[Sephiroth_IX]

Hardware -- Just stay around long enough to see 3dfx slam the competition within the next year and take your flames like a good boy.

 

[ElFenix]

hahahahh!

NSF4 that was just dirty... soooo dirty...

 

[ndee]

Hardware, haven't we disscused that already 1000 times? That you just hate 3Dfx? why do you always start a new thread over and over again?

 

[Deeko]

Take the facts? What facts are you talking about? Nothing against nvidia, but I hope when Rampage comes out it blows the NV20 away, just so we can all laugh at you

 

[Hardware]

Does anybody know how much $ were left for 3dfx at the last qtr?

 

[SuperFreaky]

I think hardware has turned me into a 3DFX fan, just so I can see him burn

 

[Oyeve]

Marty :FYI, I loved the voodoo 1, but the voodoo 2 in sli mode, couldnt beat that. I miss the 3d addon days.

 

[AmdEmAll]

Does anyone think if 3dfx is in as much trouble that ive been hearing that mabey Nvidia or someone else will buy them out? That would be crazy.

 

[Deeko]

I doubt we will see that. If they do, they'd better do it soon, cause Rampage is gonna be great. Besides...despite their low stock, they aren't doing all that horrible, retail was the V5's domain, and it did very well there.

<< Take the facts >>


3dfx is out of money How do you know? Prove it. And give up the lights argument.

rampge is far away How do you know? 3dfx made a mess announcing the V5 so far before it was ready, they have said they want to repeat that mistake. For all you know we might see a Rampage annoucement this friday and have them on shelves in time for Xmas.

gp is far away We all know this....3dfx has told us that Rampage was too far along in development to include GP tech.

after the price cuts 3dfx cant survive with the v5500 alone Do you know what margins on a video card are like? Didn't think so...3dfx survived this far off the insanely cheap V3

rumours are floating everywhere 3dfx will go out of business All started by you. And even they all aren't, rumours aren't fact. It's been stated numerous times that well before a company closes their doors there are offical bankruptcy statements.

v6000 was a big desaster too In what way? 3dfx realized this product didn't fit the market it was originally intended for and so moved it. For all you know they might have moved it out of the consumer market to make room for Rampage (see point 2).

conferencecall is without any private investor (=desaster) Not sure which conference call you are refering to...but that could be a problem.

use gp tech in software (hsr) dont work out Those are beta drivers...do you know what the word beta means?

right now demanding games are comming out (too much for a v5500) Show me one. Yes the Ultra is faster, but show me one game that you can't play at a reasonable speed with a 5500.

v4500 is now a virtual noseller True enough...the 4500 is a useless card.

on the other side ATi and Nvidia (after a delay) are right on track
we can expect nv20,radeonii soon How do you know? ATi and nVidia have been at least as tight assed about those cards as you are about 3dfx in general.

Wow...2 almost half decent points in 11. Good record hardware.

And for the love of god learn to spell Disaster.


Seriously Hardware...I try to respect other people's opinions but you are ridiculous. You have a new one of these threads everyday with your extremely biased opinion and not an ounce of fact. You always get the same replies so why do you keep doing it? Are you that starved for attention that you need this negative attention towards you from people you've never met because you can't get any elsewhere? Damn it man...you're like one of those nauseating clowns that keep rolling back up no matter how hard you punch them.

 

[Deeko]

Actually, a little while ago, he had slowed down with starting his own topics, he only got into other peoples'. But now good ol' hardware is back...come on man, do you actually enjoy having everyone on the entire board tell you you're an idiot?

 

[Wingznut]

snow patrol... Where AARRRRREEEE YYOOOOOUUUUUUUUU?

 

[HigherGround]

why are you people encouriging him? If you called him and a$$holde 100 times with absolutly no effect do you really think that the 101st will be any different? IMHO everyone who's replaying to hist dumbass threads is just adding oil to the fire ( yes that includes me, but this is my last and as far as i know only post in Hardware sponsored thread ). If we simply ignore him, he'll just fade away

 

[Dark4ng3l]

Hardware you suck.

 

[Stephen24]

Hhahaha , good one NFS4.

 

[Adul]

hardware is suck!
