I don't know anything. I've been asking this same question for the last two months. But nobody answered.  Cry

What I would like to know is if they are truly modifiying the source code and acutally creating new/updated drivers.  ???

There are too many new "drivers" out there that I have tested and I see NO difference at all and all they are is 3dfx core drivers (might be renamed a bit, but not re-programmed due to the inexpirienced C+ programmers) and modifiied inf files.  Angry

Sorry, I wish I had programming expirience. . . . I would be all over this thing in no time flat.

But you bring up some good points, it does take up a lot of time and you definately need a good team, and there is no pay involved!

However, I would think that those (and god bless them all for taking time to continue 3Dfx's work) whom take the time to do this would actaully program/re-program the drivers as 3Dfx would if they were still around

It's been said a lot and for good reason and I join those in saying -- to bad they aren't around anymore   Cry

A dream for us all...someone who's rich would buy back the 3Dfx portfolio, assets, and everything Nvidia owns that is 3Dfx, make a comeback and prevent buyouts in the future....a nice dream  Wink

3D gaming won't quite be the same as when they were around....yeah what's out  there is advancing and getting better, but they haven't got what 3Dfx had.
