It looks like 3dfx Interactive, one of the iconic GPU makers, is making a comeback after 20 years. A new Twitter account which is supposedly run by the company has tweeted out that the company is making a return and going to make a major announcement next week.
3dfx Interactive Coming Back To The GPU Market After 20 Years? Teases Major Announcement Next Week
We all have owned or heard about the Voodoo series of graphics cards, all of which were designed and made by 3dfx Interactive. The company used to be a major rival to other GPU manufacturers, primarily NVIDIA back in the day but after lackluster product launches, the company ultimately filed for bankruptcy and most of their assets were acquired by NVIDIA in 2002 for $70 Million.

This new account seems to suggest that 3dfx Interactive is coming back after a 20 years wait and their first major announcement will be made on Thursday (5th of August) which is next week. We don't know what the company plans to announce but if this is indeed real news, then we will have another major player in the GPU market aside from NVIDIA, AMD & Intel.

3dfx might indeed be back again according to its latest update

A few days ago, and honestly, out of nowhere, an alleged official Twitter account of the long-dead GPU company 3dfx Interactive announced that the firm was making a comeback on August 5th. So that was four days ago, which means tomorrow, 3dfx might indeed be announcing its return after a long 20 years - provided that this is not an elaborate farce.

While this seems far-fetched probably to the majority of people as Nvidia had acquired most of the valuable IP and assets of it, the supposed official 3dfx Twitter handle today has posted yet another update claiming that it is indeed returning.

While the company says it will announce its revival tomorrow, the first products apparently won't be available until winter. Speaking of products, the purported 3dfx claims that graphics cards will indeed be on its selling lists. In fact, the company will apparently start off with them and then slowly expand into a variety of products like smartphones, smart TVs, and sound systems.
