GA-Hardware has posted a new Q&A with Alf Covey of 3dfx interactive.

Q5: Back when the VSA-100 chip was announced, there were words about a V4 card also. Have you decided not to release this single chip card? Also your high-end V5 6000 is still not available on retailers´ shelves. Many 3dfx enthusiast are getting a bit disappointed about the delay, especially so as ATI has just released its Radeon, moreover, nVidia´s NV20 or Matrox´s G800 can be anticipated to sample soon. What is the latest news about the V5 6k?

3dfx is concentrating on maximizing revenues while we ride out our component shortage and executing on future product releases. For the near future, this means making sure the 5500 series is successful. The V5 6000 product is in development. We will be releasing the V5 6000 as soon as it is qualified for release. When the release date solidifies, we will make sure everyone knows what it is.
