BitBoys Glaze3D & History

December 13, 2001 4:01 PM

Havent had a chance to poke fun at BitBoys and Glaze3D in a long while. They have recently surfaced in a Finnish IT magazine and they are still talking the talk. Remember back when they claimed 300FPS? Thanks Adrian Lark. Oh what the heck here's a bit of a history lesson since we've got so many people around here who may not know the details. Glaze3D is a videocard architecture/brand being developed by a company called BitBoys.

- Glaze3D announced, August 2, 1999.
- Glaze3D performance speculation, August 19, 1999
- Glaze3D claims 300fps performance, Sept 29, 1999
- Glaze3D center of operations, Jan 25, 2000
- Glaze3D announcement in March, Feb 15, 2000
- Glaze3D misses announcement date, Apr 1, 2000
- Glaze3D shooting for 2001 , Apr 10, 2000
- Glaze3D gets some funding , Aug 11, 2000
- John Carmack on BitBoys, Oy?, Jan 9, 2001
- Glaze3D misses 2001 deadline? Dec 31, 2001

So, here we are with just a couple weeks left in December, and Glaze3D isnt out. Maybe next year.
