IMPORTANT!!! Notice to all members
01.04.09 at 02:05:55
 
April 2: This was an April fools joke.

After some long and hard discussions, the administrators and moderators have come to an important decission regarding the future of this board.

3dfx Has been gone now for over 8 years and we feel it is time to move on. Starting on the 2nd of April, this forum will shift it's focus to primarily nVidia based discussions.

We will still have some subforums for other vendors but can not guarantee their continued existence.

On a personal note; YAY! I just got a GeForce GTX285 Cheesy

First, I understand the reasoning in a slight way, but the 3dfx forum should still be first and foremost with subsections on different hardware even though it has been 8 years. A forum/website on antiques wouldn't say that even if an antique was a hundred years old (if you catch my drift.)

Sure I think the time is now to expand the website to more hardware etc, but 3dfx should still play a part in it.

But a pro nVidia forum? Why on earth just them. Why not a general GFX discussion board, which includes all manufacturers? (Before you mention your second sentence, I did see it, but it comes over it's 90% nVidia, 10% rest)

Just focussing on nVidia I do not agree with, they are a fine company, but even NVNews, which was always pro nVidia, has since years and years been a general forum, or for instance Rage3D (pro ATI), and many others have shifted from their initial ideas of supporting/documenting/discussing products from just one manufacturer.

I don't think I agree with this, I think 3dfx should stay the main focus of the website. If it's nVidia focused, there is no point in this board anymore.

Besides all that, I don't get it, maybe Falconfly can elaborate more on this.

I think VoodooAlert have got it nailed, a balanced mix of hardware from different vendors.

A personal brand preference of the mods/admins/mods does not generally reflect all users preferences, and should not be forced on others in my opinion.

nVidia?   Sad
That's a bad joke...

I don't like nVidia anymore, because of things like this...

Grin april fool.

I dit one too on my web site : 3dfx is back after 8 years. Due to the bad image of the last month nVidia will change the name of their high end graphic card :
They 'll be called 3dfx VR "Voodoo Ressurection" instead of nvidia Geforce as nVidia have the copyright of the term 3dfx and Voodoo  Grin
