3dfx executed a major strategy change just prior to the launch of Voodoo3 by purchasing STB Systems for US $141 million in 14 December 1998. STB Systems was one of the larger graphics card manufacturers at the time; the intent was for 3dfx to start manufacturing, marketing, and selling its own graphics cards, rather than functioning only as an OEM supplier. Purchase of STB was intended to give 3dfx access to that company's considerable OEM resources and sales channels, but the intended benefits of the acquisition never materialized. The two corporations were vastly different entities, with different cultures and structures, and they never integrated smoothly. The acquisition of STB was one of the main contributors to 3dfx's downfall. On March 28, 2000, 3dfx bought GigaPixel for US$186 million, in order to help launch product to market quicker. After nVidia acquired 3dfx, mainly for its intellectual property, they announced that they would not provide technical support for 3dfx products.

nVidia sues 3dfx over patents: 'Tactical' lawsuit revenge for earlier 3dfx 'nuisance litigation'?

U prijevodu, nVidia je više učinila da (pot)pomogne 3dfx propast, a sve samo da ih kupe za što manje novaca i promptno pokupe vrijedan IP materijal i talentirane inženjere. Dan-danas se koriste sličnim taktikama.
