3Dfx has cancelled the release of the Voodoo 5 6000 The high-powered graphics card, which required its own power supply, has been dumped by the company who will now release four chip boards through Quantum3D's AAlchemy range of PC systems, which are designed "for visual simulation and training applications" rather than games. The company claimed that the Voodoo 5 6000 could reach 60fps in Quake 3, running in 32 bit colour at 1600x1200. Unfortunately we will never know whether it could reach those heady heights. It does beg the question of what 3Dfx will do now that its flagship card has been dumped and the other cards in its range are outpaced by the GeForce chip-set? 3Dfx shares have dropped to 5 dollars from a 20 dollar high in the summer.

My GeForce 2 Ultra will get 60fps in Quake III at 1600x1200x32! So thats nothing special  [This message has been edited by Kamando (edited 11-14-2000).]
