3dfx had market dominance in 90s but then basically committed suicide.

Currently replaying Borderlands 3 and playing Horizon Forbidden West.

I’ve been building computers since 1999, and I’ve noticed that the industry is cyclical. I’ve purchased CPUs from both Intel and AMD. We need Intel to succeed, otherwise AMD will dominate the x86 processor market.
We cannot forget that 3dfx went under when they bought STB to manufacture their own video cards instead of letting their board partners do it.
