3dfx Commercials/Advertisement.
13.02.10 at 16:01:22  
Watching a few of the commercials linked here and on YouTube hurt my eyes. (poooor quality)  So, with that being said, I did a little work and now there are a few in 720p.  I was only able to find "Proud Workers" and "Medicine" in a format that I could upconvert.

135MB - Download

Feel free to use this thread to post other 3dfx advertisements. There sure are a lot of them. Smiley

Wow, that's great quality, thanks so much.

Have a word with Gary, he might have them in the original format. I think he sent it to me once on CD, along with the 3dfx interviews. I might be imagining things though.

I'm not at home at the moment, so I can't look, sorry.

I've always wondered, what did they mean by "100bln OP / sec"?

1 bilion operations per second = 1 gigahertz.

I know, but 3dfx didn't make any 1GHz chips Wink So how should we interpret this?

Check the tech specs in this review : http://www.guru3d.com/review/3dfx/voodoo3_3000/index.html

It says there : 3D Features:
100 billion operations per second.

It doesn't have anything to do with clock rate, it's like a CPU - it can perform 100 billion operations (add, multiply and stuff like that) in a second.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second - here you have it explained for CPUs.

RaverX explained it to you well. 100 billion operations per second is the bigger number of instructions that can be performed for a task when needed in one second. Clock rate is the speed at wich all this stuff can be executed and finished (cycle).
