Nvidia looks to boost its market share with the deal. Thanks to 3dfx's technology and customer base, Nvidia expects to garner between 60 percent and 70 percent of the retail market share for graphics boards. Nvidia also will likely continue 3dfx's Voodoo brand name. Even so, "We haven't completely sorted out all of the brand positioning," Huang said. "Where we could really take advantage of the Voodoo brand...is in the retail market all over the world."
