Next-Gen 3dfx Stuff
by Steve Gibson, Mar 28, 2000 4:15pm PSTWith the acquisition of Gigapixel by 3dfx recently a lot of people have been pretty interested in what this can mean for future 3dfx products. Andrew spotted the Gigapixel.com website has posted the specs for their upcoming technology. You can grab the PDF file I have mirrored here. There are some pretty crazy numbers in there, check it out:
Full scene, full-speed anti-aliasing Tri-linear mipmapping: 2 textures and 4 pixels/clock Fill rate (depth complexity = 4): 25.6 Gtexel/sec @200Mhz (12.8 Gsamples/sec) Geometry acceleration [ed: yes, T&L] Tile size: 32x32 pixels [ed: Doh!]A little while ago the specs for the 3dfx Rampage were leaked out you can check out. Those numbers line up with the Gigapixel numbers clocking at 200mhz. Very very interesting. Thanks Andrew for the heads-up.

It's like waiting for the return of Christ (for fundementalist Christians): 3dfx will release someday, but only GOD knows the day and the hour.
Thanks!

Oh and that bitch at Tech-Report doesn't know jack. How the hell would he know what the future holds for cell phones and palm tools? Personally, I think it would be awesome to see a palm comp with some color in it. Besides, those damn brownish screens with black text are ugly.

Off to nVidia's site to see if they have some video drivers, and maybe I'll try to put this on my old PC that has a TNT and SB16.
Here's something really funny: I was trying to configure my network card, normally I use DHCP (@home) but DHCP didn't work so I put in the settings manually. So I go to NetPositive, put in www.be.com, and what do I see... a porn site. So I'm like shit, they hacked www.be.com? So I go to www.shugashack.com, and it's the same page. I click on one of the links on the porn page and it says "for more naughty sites, click on these links..."
So I'm like WTF? Then I saw that for my hostname I put "wave.come.com" instead of "wave.home.com" and that fixed it. Weird eh?
Shit this black and white screen at 50 Hz is making me dizzy...

It's a tile size, not a texture size...
Or was the ed just confused?

besides a possible misplacement of a decimal, the numbers don't match
that's assuming it can apply 10 textures to a pixel in 1 pass.
