One thing I like about nVIDIA is that the company is always willing to try out new ideas. In its tussle with 3dfx, T&L was the turning point, leaving 3dfx's Voodoo pretty much dead in the water as a result. nVIDIA's battle with ATi has been a lot tougher, and so far neither company is totally dominating the market. Strong rivalries usually lead to lower prices for consumers.... the key word here is usually. nVIDIA was not the first company to pair up two videocards to work together but it's the first to really make it mainstream. 3dfx had the Voodoo2, but they were extremely expensive and with the introduction of the AGP slot, PCI videocards like were left in the dust, no matter how innovative.
