"So where does this leave 3dfx? Let's take stock. Since the release of the Voodoo3 line of chips, they've been playing catch-up to NVidia in terms of video quality and performance. Their main competitor who also tried to go solo, S3, has decided it wasn't worth it and cut their losses completely. The only competition who DIDN'T go solo, NVidia, is now controlling an amazing amount of the market as well as the performance crown. Further, 3DFX just cut off the Voodoo5 6000, their "premiere" card which would have possibly given them a much needed high-power edge, and left it to another company to implement in selected closed systems."
