I wonder what would have happened if 3dfx had survived. It ultimately had its assets acquired by nvidia!

They failed because they were out-competed. Not really sure how the timeline would be much different if they'd managed to hang on a little longer.


I've often wondered this. Would be interesting to see how useful that 3dfx IP ended up being? When I was a teenager I tried to get my parents to open a brokerage account so I could buy some 3dfx stock as I was so excited by what they were doing.
