The whole 3dfx vs. NVIDIA debate has been raging on for quite awhile now. Camps are set up on both sides of the issue. One side stands proudly behind the little guy that was NVIDIA who has now grown up to be a big, strong burley man. Others stand side by side with the company that is generally credited as being the parent of consumer 3d graphics, 3dfx (formerly 3Dfx). He's old, he's wise, and he's got a lot of credits under his belt, and he's not going to let some upstart waltz into his territory without a fight either.
