NVidia was founded by ex-SUN ex-AMD folks. 3dfx was founded by ex-SGI folks. SUN used to compete with SGI in the high-end graphics workstation space so in a sense NVidia consolidated them both. AMD on the other hand consolidated independent pioneers like ATI, Tseng Labs etc.
- Keyframe 8y agoSun was never a competition in graphics workstation much, but workstations yes. Also, don't forget ArtX. SGI people everywhere! Everywhere, except SGI. I'm still bitter about it, I loved that company. Not their prices though. So far ahead of their time, kind of like Amiga where budget was not a question.
