Gave me my laugh for the day. As stated on [H]ardocp:
Apparently NVIDIA is not one to be left behind…we have proof from a reliable source ( he only sent this picture to me…and 1000 other of his closest webmaster friends ) This picture is total undeniable proof that NVIDIA used the 3dfx technology to unleash the GeForce5 6000!!! I have further proof from my friend, who is close to NVIDIA, that the GF5-6000 is getting an astonishing 54014 3DMarks!!! I cannot reveal the persons true identity out of fear of retaliation from former 3dfx employees…so he sent me this from his Yahoo account under the name “Emilio”. Remember you saw it here first….

And i thought that it supported AGP 8...oh, Nvidia is so late....

Also, i have that same driver and i haven´t found any Gf6 in the ini. LOL
Nice card though.
Must have a surfboardcase to carry that to the LAN.

Thats a nice score, although, according to my calculations, he is getting just 1734.05 fps on the Nature test :p
