April 15 was the release date for both V3 3500 + TNT2, now both are May 1. I was a very much big time 3Dfx supporter... but I jumped the boat. Loyality in this area is stupid, you should get the best card for the best price. Tom - you say V3 is faster. Tell me, have you HONESTLY not read all of the reviews, that show the TNT2 much faster than V3????????????? Huh??????
