theres still a healthy 3dfx fan community around... its mostly asleep, but just go around and say something bad about 3dfx and youll get poked from all sides
thats the worst thing... if 3dfx would still be around, it would just be another company, but they died and as a result somehow reached martyr status in the minds of many gamers and enthusiasts... all the bad things and problems are long forgotten, and the good things are exaggerated beyond reason
its very possible... xbox's xenos was supposed to be a desktop gpu but was cancelled/skipped, instead ati double pumped their previous design and built on that... both ati and nvidia have done this several times, and even intel and amd... what ever happened to K9?it was skipped/cancelled pretty early in dev process... intel wanted to launch an x86 SOC several times, they failed and were cancelled... what happened to tejas, the next thing after prescott? skipped/cancelled as well...
you never had an X2 card then i guess
its really ironic how nvidia and sli push dual gpu cards as the highend gaming solutions, but when comparing gaming experience they tend to have waaay more issues than single gpu highend cards...
dual gpu cards only make sense for huge res 24" or 30" monitors, but even then they have serioues issues... what do hardcore gamers play on? the fastest single gpu cards hooked up to 19" tfts or even 17" or 19" crts... and theres a reason for it...
