Dangit, we could have had the first Non-Photorealistic rendering video card if 3DFX hadn't died!
OP
Well died good Q as far some of us know but this did come from somebody that work for 3dfx so it hard to say if it old or very new picture but then againe 3dfx Tech support is in fact still runing.
The real Q is did nVidia get all of 3dfx technology or just some it.

Great, another card that 3Dfx can deliver late. Oh, wait, that's right they aren't in business anymore...
*Sigh*
