Afternoon Hardware

by Steve Gibson Oct 24, 1999 2:37pm CST tags: 3dfx
Some stuff on the hardware front this afternoon for you guys to check out. GA-Source has their look at the 3DCard industry, Maximumhardware has one of those 3dfx vs NVidia deals talking about their facing off. I think 3dfx has the reach advantage but NVidia has a stronger jab. Firehawk also has word from IgeL that the BitBoys have been awarded the 'Entrepreneur of the Year' award over in Finland. The Bitboys being famous for their as of now vaporware Glaze3D product and those 300fps Quake3 framerate claims. Lastly, chipwatchers has an update to their hardware pricing page.
