3dfx Baking Stuff

An 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)

  • Damn...all i see is whiny bitches all over the net complaining about shit like this. *I hate 3dfx cuz of their PR* Wll bully for you! Just like fucking movies and tv shit...you have to advertise....build up the damn product. Games get delayed...so does hardware. I dont blame 3dfx for pimpimping the future...you ALWAYS need to be looking at the future. The future is where 3dfx *could* excel. With gigapixel now.....mid-end of next year could be rosy for *us*. The *only* problems 3dfrx has/had is false expectations of when a product should be out....i say just give a vague *second half of htisyear* type shit and then surprise the public. The other big factor over there is management. Plain and simple the people over there do not seem to have the know how in running a company and executing a well layed out gameplan. Anyways, its all pointless becuz if nvidia did the same you be praising them...where were you when 3dfx was on top and nvidia was the underdog? *oh those were ass cards* uh uhh....seems all vaguely familiar. Its just a piece of damn hardware to play games...boast about your fucking fillrate *mines bigger and faster than yours* Just like the old muscle car days.....fuck it all though, why gripe, bitch, defend shit. Either buy it, the other product, or nothing at all.

    Hmmm, long day at work today. enjoy ;)
