Have you ever wonder what would had happen if 3DFX would still be making videocards if Nvidia wouldn´t have absorbed it in 1999, well now at least you can remember what once was the grea VODOO card the GTX590 of 1997 in this video.
It looks like 3dfx Interactive, one of the iconic GPU makers, is allegedly making a comeback in the graphics industry after 20 years.
I still remember getting a 3dfx Voodoo for Christmas. This is most likely fake though considering most their assets were sold to Nvidia. Even the grammar is wrong in the tweet.
I still have all my VooDoo cards from 1-5. Id love to see a return but they wont be the same. They sold all their bag of tricks to Nvidia. GLide was better than openGL and D3D for the time. There's no getting that back.
Interested to see what this is but I do wonder how they’ll ever compete against huge companies with lots of R&D dollars like NVidia while also being out of the industry for so long.
Another moronic Twitter prank like the recent Interplay revival.
The 3dfx brand is owned by Nvidia.
I believe Nvidia let the 3Dfx trademark expire years ago, but this is definitely fake.
The history of the development of GPUs and graphics technologies they brought into video games
DSOGaming writes: "Martín Gamero Prieto has shared with us some images from 3DFX’s cancelled graphics card, the Rampage, and since I’m a huge 3DFX fan, I couldn’t resist sharing these images with you. Rampage was 3DFX’s last endeavor to develop a graphics card to compete and outperform GeForce3. This card was first developed in 1997 but didn’t see release until 2001 for several reasons."
3DFX cards were awesome. I still have my voodoo1, a pair of voodoo2's, two voodoo3's (2000 & 3000) and my pride and joy, the voodoo5 5500
Brings back memories of trips to Incredible Universe with my Dad when I was a kid.
Still imagining if Dreamcast got the Voodoo 2/3. Crazy how ArtX and 3DFX spun out of SGI. SGI went out of business. 3DFX got bought by Nvidia and ArtX by ATi (and ATi later got bought by AMD) .
