   I don't think the retail sales were very good, there were a lot of them that ended up as OEM cards or on-board (not really integrated at this point) graphics.

   Ohhh. Actually, quite a lot of NV3s were sold...You can view that just from Nvidia's revenue totals, and reviews at the time. Note the standards for image quality increased very quickly, so it was described as decent in 1997, but awful

   Most 3dfx cards are already emulated. I'm just a crackhead. NV2 was not a real product, it was cancelled. You are talking about NV1
