Here is a link to the Web Archive, which has kept a copy of the 3dfx website since it's release in 1996.

This page contains a list of dates, which are dates a cut was made by Web Archive, of 3dfx's website. Here they are, retained in all their glory! Grin

The site's copied don't have 100% of their links working, but most internal links to the site do. Check it out for yourself...

@ agrelaphon, you don't have certain respect for those guys, do you?

@ Denis, i thought most of the stuff went to nvidia, only the vsa-100 technology was sold to quantum3d...would be interesting (but certainly useless) to know who got their stock..
anyway, here's what they're doing now:

Gary Tarolli works as 3d engineer for nvidia

Ross Smith is PRESIDENT of QUANTUM 3D

Scott Sellers...anybody knows? ???

1) MIA = Missing In Action (acronym)

2) An individual owns SLI, not nVidia, not Quantum3D; analog SLI that is...

janskjaer Ex Member	Re: Visit www.3dfx.com in days gone by Reply #12 - 03.03.04 at 09:45:04 Yeah, I just had a look at their site. It's such a shame that. It seems majority of their marketing structure has always been based around military simulators. Would be great if they got back into the public commercial sector and started developing cards for us!

Its COOL! We can see it even after all terrors happened to that company! To be "byed" by n-Vidia... Grrr!! I can't imagine worse ending But I belive that the same destiny is waiting a n-Vidia too (ATI is hungry... and biger every day) hehe!!
