presumably that’s supposed to be “CES” but hey, that’s a minor detail.

Pretty mad, I had one of these back in the day, memories of applying glide patches to Tomb Raider II.
The "Lithium 775KD Smart TV" name makes me think its an OLED, since consumer LCD doesn't generally come in 77" size and I'd assume the 77 is the screensize.
edit - I realise now this is clearly silly nonsense

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Man, if they were making a new video card for building a retro gaming PC with like Windows 98/XP... that'd actually be pretty cool.

Was just about to say xD.
Still not sure if this is a troll or not, hopefully they're legit.
There might be a profitable niche market for that tbh. A lot of older PC games & software still don't run very well on modern OSes. I bet people like LGR would love it, too.

I almost want to block that twitter account.
No way any of that is real.

3Dfx is now a brand name that gets slapped on random Chinese e-waste. But they may expand to other consumer goods in the future.

Yeah, no. I'm not buying it. Some company nobody has ever heard of bought the brand and now they're gonna have a GPU ready within a year?
This will either turn out to be a hoax or - and given the other totally unrelated shit they're working on, this seems more likely - end with them slapping the name on a bunch of Chinese OEM crap.

They are calling the Jansen Products brought the trademark from nVidia.
But it all that suspicious because I never saw that company before and the found nVidia guy is named Jansen.
The twitter says that is Jansen Products is a investment company seated in San Francisco but there is no relate of even a subsidiary called Jansen in San Francisco.

Of course. Anyone who's first GPU was a 3Dfx is a certified born in the right age person. A person who could've experienced what games are supposed to be.

They were the dominant manufacturer of GPUs (actually I think that’s before the term “GPU” was coined) back in the 90s. Then they went bankrupt and Nvidia bought all their IP in 2002.

But shit is not supposed to be edible.
still thinking that this is some sort of bullsh*t.
3Dfx is dead and will be. There is no way they manage to get back into GPU business. Nvidia has all the trademarks and patents of the company. Ok, nvidia might have lost the trademark as they do not use it actively and you can normally only block a trademark as long as you have something you sell with it. So the name 3Dfx could be really free to use.
I still have my working V5 5500 AGP card here with an old PC. I would be one of the first who would buy an old voodoo graphics chip if I don't have it. But I really think this all is just a joke or they try to sell some cheap stuff with the name.

Ofc its bullshit. If they ever resurrect it will be from the middle of NVidia headqurters. Just like an alien, bursting out of them. In the middle of a press conference about the GForce 95000 with 12 fans and a 1KW power requirement. Jensen will tumble down the stairs, trying to reach his pills, but it will already be too late.still thinking that this is some sort of bullsh*t.

Who can install a PCI card these days? Is PCIe BW compatible? I vaguely recall having both busses back when PCIe first launched. This is some sketchy shit.

It's all fake. The company doesn't exist. The 3dfx trademark was not revived by anyone. It's just a random troll/scammer on Twitter throwing bullshit around.
Now queue droves of people refusing to believe reality can be so simple/sad, and talking each other into believing that this is in reality a big conspiracy from a top brand to masquerade whatever announcement they personally wish to see happen.
