Hey guys,
I was reading a little background info on the specs of the Rampage blueprints in comparison to some of nVIDIAs cards around the same time-line, trying to find out which nVIDIA cards best resembled those pencilled in for the Rampage era (Spectre 1k, 2k and 3k). Fusion and Mojo designs were so far ahead that it is impossible to correlate their specs to any resemblance in any card nVIDIA made, so I am discounting them in this investigation.
Using the development time-line, I researched many articles that concluded a lot of the 2D-side of the Spectre cards could have been used in NV25 and NV30 chipsets. NV20 would have already been finished or close-to-finished before the final step in the 3dfx takeover, so we can rule that chipset out.
It is possible that cards such as NV40 and up may have used some of 3dfx's Rampage technology, but it's difficult to find out more information.
I was also so desperate, as to try and do a physical comparison with the Rampage prototype and that of Geforce 3, 4 and FX cards. That got me no where.
What are others forum members feelings and opinions on this, as to which nVIDIA cards resembled the Rampage technology the most?
