"The workstation vendors do stupid driver tricks to make CDRS go faster, while consumer vendors do stupid driver tricks to make Q3 go faster."
I feel that when I bought my '1st' 3d card -The Voodoo 2 Addin, by 3Dfx, it was a great Innovation, then i added a second one, "Doubling" my game play; then i bought an Ati Rage 128... (after figuring out that i couldnt do anything in OGL, until after i sold my voodoos) needing to Model things in 3d, and wanting to 'speed' up in 3d not running in software..
I liked 3Dfx, because they were the 'Spark' in Consumer 3D graphics, now it seems that they are moving into more cinematic effects, rather than 3d speed.
Then, my friend came home with a TNT! wow, that sucker was awesome, (XCept on q3 at first, until we updated the drivers) Wow! 32 bit! even the voodoo 3 couldnt do that! (minding that it couldnt when it was first released), I was impressed.. and from a consumers view im sure that isnt too hard to do..
Looking at the Quality in Quake, how 'Clear' it looks with a G(u) Force 2 compared to anything else that i have seen on the consumer level, all i can say is that i cant wait for the NV25:)
John Carmack I commend you on your work in 3d, you have shown all of us the way in 3d, starting from the old Wolfenstien that I loved, then DooM, how that forever changed my life, playing multiplayer... wow
I just want to say that 3D is very intriguing and i'm choosing to go down this path, so ANY card by Either 3Dfx, Nvidia, or ES, or any High end Workstation card, that within $$$ Reason i will use, currently i use The Geforce 2, because it was better for Modeling. (3D Studio Max, Lightwave, Maya, Softimage)
Thats the Reason why I like Nvidia... Speed, Quality, and allowing all consumers that own it to be able to Create media at the same Quality as Developers
