If you have a voodoo card from 3dfx and are planning on buying a new card, you can get money for trading in your card.
Seems like only yesterday that 3dfx Voodoo graphics cards were considered by many to be the top of the line. Unfortunately, as with many of the old familiar graphics card companies, 3dfx has gone the way of the dodo, as evidenced by the message on the 3dfx website that states: “3dfx Interactive, Inc. is no longer providing support for any 3dfx products and drivers. Information about 3dfx is no longer available from the 3dfx.com website. Please be advised that on February 19, 2002, the 3dfx.com website will be shut down entirely.” However, if you’ve still got an old Voodoo card laying around, NVIDIA and PNY Technologies are ready to make you an offer you can’t refuse. The two companies just announced the “Got Voodoo – Get Verto” online redemption promotion for 3dfx Voodoo graphics card owners. For a limited time, you can trade in your Voodoo graphics cards when you buy select models of PNY Verto graphics cards for a cash-back rebate. An NVIDIA ForceWare Game CD, with a selection of games and applications will also be included. Information about the redemption program can be found on PNY’s web site. Rebate requests must be received online by the program expiration date of January 19th, 2002 to qualify. Under the program, if you buy a PNY Verto MX 400 (PCI or AGP), GeForce2 Ti or GeForce3 Ti 500 graphics card, you get a cash-back bonus upon trade-in of your old 3dfx card, ranging from $10 to $30, depending on the PNY Verto Graphics Card purchased. If you purchase a Verto GeForce3 Ti 500 by December 31 2001, you also get a pair of i-O Display Systems’ 3D Smart Glasses (a $49.99 value) for free. Sure, $30 off a $200+ graphics card may seem like a spit in the ocean, but you might as well keep the extra cash in your pocket if you’ve got an old Voodoo card lying on the shelf.
