In een press release van gisteren heeft Quantum3D aangekondigd een samen-werkingsverband met nVidia te hebben opgezet. Ineens blijkt dat nVidia ook van plan is Voodoo3 en VSA-100 van 3dfx te kopen, zodat deze voor Quantum3D's AAlchemy kaarten geproduceerd en geleverd kunnen worden. Verder zal nVidia chips gaan ontwikkelen voor volgende generaties van Quantum3D's videosystemen:
NVIDIA and Quantum3D already have a solid history of working well together. Both the Quantum3D AAlchemy and Graphite systems are available with NVIDIA-based graphics subsystems-- including the new GeForce2 MX and Ultra products. The two companies are now committed to mutually implementing a smooth transition strategy that will enable Quantum3D to develop value-added solutions based on NVIDIA silicon in the future for VST.
"NVIDIA is pleased to welcome Quantum3D into the NVIDIA family," stated Jen-Hsun Huang, Co-Founder, President and CEO of NVIDIA Corporation. "Quantum3D has a great reputation in the Visual Simulation & Training as true innovators and they will fit well with NVIDIA's leadership role in the graphics world. We will support Quantum3D and its customers with current 3dfx-based technology and we look forward to working with them in developing new value-added products based on NVIDIA technology."
