Having used both a Voodoo3 and a Geforce2 the voodoo drivers were more stable and easy to setup (even though they were alot slower). I was hoping the company would turn itself around. oh well…. [br][br]So anyone know if the linux Radeon or Kyro drivers are progressing or is nvidia the only game in town?

I have been a 3dfx user since the voodoo2. I have never had anything in my computer since that didn’t say 3dfx Interactive.

When 3d decellerators were the norm. Yes all consumer 3d cards were DEcellerators before 3dfx came out with the voodoo1. The 3dfx voodoo1 is what jumpstarted this FAST 3d scene with an accelerator that actually dramatacially increased frame rates with eye candy to boot.[br]

I also remember Andy Hanson at 3dfx who worked in his SPARE time to enhance the descent2 3dfx port. He spent probably a year of his spare time, which all descent2 fans(mainly using Kali gaming service at the time) could never thank him enough for. Ah the memories of getting to beta test.[br]

Hats off to 3dfx for the great things that they have brought the video industry. They will be missed greatly. I think I will go cry now.
