3dfx Baking Stuff
by Steve Gibson, Jul 27, 2000 2:40pm PDTAn astute reader sent in this Motley Fool posting by a member of the 3dfx shareholders (One of the guys who has enough shared to attend the meetings) which gives a summary of the recent 3dfx board meeting. There is some pretty interesting info in there, but the one that caught my eye the most was this brief statement:
They (3dfx) have a product (with sony) next year that will outperform the x box. 5:15 update: It looks like sony was just an example of a possible client, oh well.There are a few other bits, like 50% of costs for boards is memory, and the V5-6000 is looking like it will ship at the end of next month. (Last word from 3dfx was July16th, which they missed)

The end of the world is beginning, and it is currently outside my office.
The sky is now officialy black as night.

Last night I recommended a V5 5500 to someone. Why? Because he plays a lot of emulator games, and he also plays Deus Ex and UT a lot. The GeForce line has notorious problems with older titles as well as the Unreal engine. Therefore, losing even 10% of Quake-engine frames is worth compatibility and stability on allmost platforms.
That is why no one card is better than the other.

Moderate speed advantage
V5:
100% compatible with all games
Better FSAA
Quake 3 loser who just wants speed? Get a GF2.
Play lots of games or older games, like FSAA? Get a V5.
A V5 does not 'suck', despite what the Q3 idiots think.
Thanks!

Look what you missed...
"Someone then asked about a demo, so they got some stuff ready and then gave us one in a oversized closet type of room. It was showing off the next generation vs nVidia's Ge2 DDR. This was rev 1 of gigapixels chip, and they are currently on or have completed rev 4. They showed it running Q3Arena, and not only was the picture far better (sharper, and not pixelated on the edges....since it does anti-aliasing in hardware, instead of software) but the framerate was double or slightly better."

Hmmm, long day at work today. enjoy ;)
Maalox, yeah I can probably hold out till then as well, seeing as how everything runs damn fast due to my p3@744.
Vantage, I dunno about an intel chip, but there were benchmarks way back when geforce256 was released that showed improved performance on a k6-2.
However, nvidia is supposedly making some sort of massive bandwidth reducing technology for the NV20 which should kick some ass. They claim 4x the bandwidth, but they've claimed a lot of things :)
Man I just don't know when to upgrade my Voodoo3
