I'm not 100% positive, but I think this a very new company as out of curiousity I have done quite a few internet searches on 3dfx's former management with nothing but 3dfx related to Scott Sellers.

I'm also somewhat inclined to think that Scott and some other of 3dfx's top management people had to sign some type of non-competition agreements as part of the Nvidia acquisition Undecided

Highly doubtful. Undecided

Surely companies cannot disclose takeover employees to not work for rival companies.

Whan would nVIDIA have to fear of Scott Sellers? nVIDIA saw 3dfx technology as a failing element, and 3dfx never got to see any of nVIDIA's top secret projects, so why would they bother? It would take a HUUUUGE payoff for these guys to be "advised" not to work in that line of business again. I can't see a plausible reason why.

Maybe 3dfx employees tired of designing for graphics cards and decided to try something different and a new fresh line of work.

Or maybe they didn't trust that line of industry again, after the pitfall 3dfx fell into. Once bitten, twice shy.. Roll Eyes
