Good job supporting all the 3dfx users. Since you bought out 3dfx you should atleast give some support. I dont like the idea goto voodoofiles.com or go buy a GeForce. Hell most ex-3dfx users i know have a Radeon in there box.

I Love playing on my GameCube or PC cuz there both ATi powered... :smile:
 
yeah, Feb 19 2002 is the last day for 3dfx. So i would say nvidia did a horrible job. No support at all really made me madd. ATi has horrible drivers but there still support FireGL cards that diamond made. VIA is still supporting S3 after they got bought.

Well nvidia's evil ways will catch up with them and cause there death.

3Dfx wasn't much better. Even before they went under, clicking on a driver link brought you to a completely different site. I knew 3Dfx was in trouble back when the Voodoo 3 came out... and it didn't support all the features it's competitors did (32-bit color, full AGP texturing, etc...). By the time Voodoo 4/5 was finally released, they were already too far behind the curve to keep up. The cards were woefully expensive, and they didn't even use DDR memory!

I didn't like seeing 3Dfx go under; they were once kings in the 3D arena. When nVidia purchased the company, I knew it would be the end of support for the cards; despite nVidia's claims to the opposite. They're too busy working out bugs in their hardware/drivers to support 3Dfx products. The only new drivers you'll find are ones that other people have taken time out to write themselves.

My best advice is to ditch that 3Dfx card. I know it hurts, but you might as well buy yourself a card you know is going to be supported; rather than one from a failed company.

I completely agree. When I built my new AMD box, I put a Radeon 64MB VIVO in it. I'm quite happy with the card and also quite happy that I avoided purchasing another 3Dfx product.

If you have to get another card get a radeon.

Drivers from ATi = poor

Omega drivers = good

Well, ATI has been getting a lot of good leaks lately.

AMD technology + Intel technology = Intel/AMD Pentathlon IV; the <b>ULTIMATE</b> PC processor
