your read about S3's new upcomming chips for DX 10 and 10.1 but if you read the bottom line nvidia is gonna use the old Texture Computer which was used for the VSA-100!!! haha isn't that something!

Suppose that NV isn't brainy enough to design something newer so they fall back to good ole 3dfx tech, simply amazing.

It is too early to tell right now, but with S3 XE3/E3, XE2/E2, XE1/E1 and ATI R700 being multi-chip concepts and G80 using a variant of 3dfx "Texture Computer" from 2001. Can you say the old VSA concept is back with a vengeance?

Man if 3dfx was still around who knows what our world of 2D/3D would of been like , well if you'd ask me? Alot better, nah make that FAR BETTER! than now I can tell ya that   8)
