Making their own cards isnt what killed them, Over spending and Conflict withing the Board/Shareholders/Creditors did. Being Stiffed for Millions in R&D By Sega Didnt Help.
Spent a lil too much Acquiring STB, negligible, but was a big deal, as they would not sell chips to OEM Partners and STB couldnt keep up in manufacturing or costs.
nVidia swooped in and swiped the OEM and ODM market from them.
CEO Shifted money from a Infantcy Project to Making All In One 2D/3D Cards Faster (VooDoo3), This Angered the Board.
The Nail in the Coffin was Direct3D, Which Voodoo 2 Did not support, So Gamers started purchasing other cards.
Market Share Dropped.
A few board Members filed to started bankruptcy proceedings, once started cannot be stopped, instead CEO Decided to Sell Company to nVidia.
nVidia Acquired all 3DFX IP, and Discontinued Support for all 3DFx Products.
nVidia Took the Developments of Hardware T&L and Applied it to their Next GPUs, Same with SLi
