good for ATI.
I hope they are able to handle both Xbox2 'XGPU-2' and GameCube2 'Flipper-2' without slipping in any other area (like PC graphics). "Night Rain" wrote in message . ..

Way to go ATI! I refused to buy nvidia on principle due to the ****ty way
they bought up 3dfx just to kill it and then refused to provide support/drivers for all the zillions of Voodoo cards they then 'owned' the rights to. The news flash I'm waiting to see would go something like: "ATI buys up the remains, including brand name, of the once all conquering but now bust nvidia company for 1$. ATI says they will trash the nvidia brand name because the public don't trust it anymore for obvious reasons, but will revive the 3dfx brand which they now own and the fantabulous Voodoo 7 Screamer graphics card, an evolution of 3dfx's winning technology, will ship in a few months. ATI also announced that all future driver sets will include Glide support for all new and existing 3dfx products." Eat **** nvidia and I wish you all 10 000 sleepless nights, worrying about how you are going to catch up with ATI. What goes around comes around. |

Eat **** nvidia and I wish you all 10 000 sleepless nights, worrying about how you are going to catch up with ATI. What goes around comes around. I think that, regardless of the respective evils or virtues of ATi or NVidia, the competition between them is what fuels better cards, improved drivers/software and keeps prices down - not to mention the propensity of large monopolies to dump on their customers from even rarer heights than ATi or NVidia find themselves able to. Neither of them is marvellous, and I've never had an NVidia card and don't plan to. Nevertheless, I sincerely hope NVidia don't go the way of 3DFX; simply because I don't see ATi responding to a scenario like that in way that might benefit their customers _at all_. patrickp |
