   Well, that thread seems to be more wild speculation than facts. While   
   the specs of the PowerVR are known, posters opinion about what the 3Dfx   
   chip would have been vary greatly: From worse than Vodoo2 to better than   
   Vodoo3.   
   Is there any more information about what 3dfx would have made for Sega   
   available?
