Total madness bringing glide back if its true. I heard they were making their own glide tye thing (perhaps thats what you mean) that is a subset of directX.

This is awful news. |ts just an attempt to take over the market. In the end it is us who will suffer. Games programmers are barely given enough time to make one graphics engine, nevermind two. It also means another huge code path which means more bugs.

This is not good news in any way

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it. It's an attempt to force people to use NVidia hardware cause I`m sure that this new version of glide won`t work (or worse will work but with deliberately introduced bugs) on ATI hardware.

At this point in time, it is still a rumour, generated my the misinterpretation of the fact that the NV30 is the first card which ex-3Dfx employees have directly worked on. They may bring along their experience, however there is absolutely nothing to say that there will be any form of Glide support included. It may be nice, but Glide has already been unused for generations, and with alternatives readily available there's little point in implementing it.
