Couple of bits of 3dfx news. Firstly they have released a couple of new images of the V5-6000 with some design modifications. (Here are some pics of the old design) you can look at. Brian Burke has informed me that the cooling system will be replaced with 'something much cooler' as well. Secondly the V5-5500 has resumed shipping (Thanks PimpStick) and will be on shelves on June 9th is the promised date.

  • This may be old news, but keep in mind I was gone for awhile.

    Anyway, from Thresh's Part III of the FSAA wars.

    4x 640x480 Comparison
    When we cranked the cards to 4x sampling there was absolutely no confusion as to which card had the better FSAA. I end up sounding like a 3DFX monkey, but I couldn't really care less which card does better. I have no loyalty to either company. I let my poor eyes decide which card was the best. With that said, I have to say that Voodoo owned every bit-depth, every resolution, and every API. There was no mistaking one card for the other in these tests. The Voodoo's 4x simply dominated.
