The 3dfx Linux Driver Has Hope & It's Getting TTM

[movieman]

nVidia still rules.

Didn't Nvidia buy 3dfx? I seem to recall that's about the time they began to drop behind ATI .

Sorry, were you attempting sarcasm?

I think this is a variation on Poe's Law: it's hard to tell the difference between a condescending dismissal of perceived fundamentalism from a parody of such.

For what it's worth, I replaced my NVIDIA card with a Radeon, and I run the open-source drivers on all of my ATI machines. I am willing to take the performance and feature hit in exchange for freedom and the promise of future open-source awesomeness.

Also, I really appreciate the work you and others do for the FOSS graphics world. Thank you!

If you compiled your system with ICC (I mean your Windows, not the Linux fundie crap), you would get more FPS on your Workraft. The REAL users will keep laughing at your FPS and your open schmopen source.

Yeah, nvidia rules!

Yes, I was.

In reality, I'm quite a fundie myself.

Right out of my mouth.

Voodoo ran great on 98.

Slackware 9 was about the only Linux I knew of that shipped the SDK/driver.


2000 didnt much support the features. 1999 was a good year.
