Give me a break...

Shouldn't there be some sort of entrance exam that would weed out people who might be inclined to post such drivel? I guess we could simply place a minimum age of 10 years old to eliminate guys like this...

No offense intended, LilRice, but this issue is covered about every day... your post appears to me to be a troll. Use the search function and you should find out in intricate detail how everyone feels about nVidia, 3Dfx, GEForces, and Voodoos.

they make quality products. That work. I'm happy. i've had a card from every generation they've made though too (well except the rush). I've had maybe 3-4 nvidias and a couple ATIs a few matroxes. Matrox is good too. ok i'm digressing.

they are a video card manufacturer, just like nvidia and ati and matrox and blah blah blah...personally i like them more than nvidia (nvidia sux nvidiots go to hell!! j/k j/k) but sticking up for one company all the time is kinda...pointless and stoopid...most cards have pros and cons....as far as 3dfx as a company, well, they are just like any other company..

They make decent products. They recently got there head out of there asses and started to pull there act together.

Other than that they have an extremely loyal following who will do anything for them.

There favorite quote line being "suck it Nvidiots".

Of course none of them say it to your face.

Look at me! I have a genuine imitation 3dfx cock ring.
I also have 3DFX r00ls tattooed on my back, and nVidia sux0rz on my chest.

3DFX r0x0rz! nVidiots are the suck!

is anyone else as sick of this 3dfx vs nVidia bullsh*t as I am?

3dfx is a great company, they've had a few screw ups in the past year...but they seem to be getting back on track. nVidia is a great company to, the last 1.5-2 years they have seriously been pushing the enevelop and making great features and competition for gamers. ATi finally pulled their heads out of their collective asses and started producing some good drivers for their top notch hardware. And while the G450 was a bit of a dissapointment to gamers, it is an excellent card for the market it's intended for, and I expect the mythical G800 will be pretty sweet when it shows up to.

The moral of the story: We have a lot of great graphics card companies that produce lots of different products, weigh the strengths and weaknesses of each card and pick which best suits your needs, and give up this dumb Company A rocks, and Company B sucks nuts attitude.

doom runs on 3d hardware?!?!?!?!? rulxor!

nvidia has had everything go exactly their way in the last year and a half. 3dfx hasn't. thats why we are where we are today. nvidia has guessed what gamers want (or maybe told gamers what we want? re: t&l do you remember wanting it before nvidia told you it was the sh!t?) and 3dfx hasn't. v3, they thought we wanted speed, we wanted image quality. so they go after the best image quality with the v5, and we're back to wanting speed... we're fickle SOBs.

3dfx have rock solid drivers and hardware. Plus their 2D image quality rocks and their 16 bit rendering is really cool.

In the past 3dfx have lagged behind the competition in terms of features and performance, but they seem to be getting over that now. I've decided to stick with 3dfx for my next video card upgrade (partially due to my failed nVidia upgrade).

Owned an Orchid Righteous Voodoo 1, a Diamond Monster 8 meg V2, and a pair of 3dfx 12 meg V2 for SLI. No regrets whatsover and drivers were solid all around. I wasn't too terribly impressed with their Banshee and Voodoo 3 models however and thought they should've stuck with the 3D only SLI format until they were ready to deliver something of Voodoo5 caliber.
