Raff_3DC is on a distinguished road

Most of the ex-3dfx engineers now work for nVIDIA, so it's not likely that 3dfx will ever come back -- at least not the way they were before. They are dead and we have to accept that. It's not possible to found a graphic chip manufacturer with 5 people and a small budget, like in 1995 ...

Well, technology moves on. But there's something that's really "poor" IMHO: 3dfx' RGSSAA, integrated in the Voodoo4/5 series via T-Buffer, is still one of the best-looking AA modes available. And it was introduced in 2000 -- 5 years ago! It's a shame that there are so few improvements on this territory ...

Greetings from Germany,
Raff
