Bullshit.  Nvidias drivers are actually some of the best.  First off look at
nvidias engineers and their backgrounds.  Its now all of SGI's opengl
engineers.  It need not be said, but for those that dont know... SGI has
lead the 3d accelerated workstation market for many many years.  Of course
that has all changed quite recently thanks to the PC and its wide variety of
3d accelerators.  Nvidias drivers stand up fine, they perform excellent in
games, and they are now moving to support opengl workstation applications.
You cant say the same for 3DFX.  They will always be a game card, atleast
thats what their current buisness model looks like.  Nvidia is a revolution
in that it is brings together the 200$ game card and the 2000$ workstation
cards.

That trend will continue, and nvidia will continue to lead the industry
based on its engineering background.
