Hrm, so is it too late for 3dfx? I sure hope not, the more competition the better. If you just look at hardware the V5-5500 should really be getting higher benchmarks than it has been in the past. Well the latest 3dfx driver release has a new option called remove hidden surfaces. The result? Benchmarks moving up quite a bit, and actually becoming competitive? Well, almost. If anyone has a V5 handy and feels like giving it a try let us know.
