Rampage? *grins* You are so behind your times, friend! Haven't you heard?
A few fanatic 3DFX engineers never truly quitted the company... Why do you think the paperwork to make it die is going so slowly? Because it's all just a big lie. It's not over yet. You've all been manipulated by NVIDIA's PR and IR - they never bought all the 3DFX IP. Only a small portion of it.

P.S.:
That rumor came from a troll who claimed that the NV40 was running both at lower resolutions and was running the demo terribly. This was blatantly false, and was countered by representatives of Epic.ANova said:
Both video cards ran the E3 demo at similar performance, but I think there was more high dynamic range stuff going on with the NV40, due to support of FP framebuffer blending. I claim this not because I saw much about the E3 demo, but because it was claimed to be the way that Epic implemented HDR in the demo they presented (of which there are videos) at the NV40 launch.

I heard it from more then one person. Now, granted the source you're referring to is questionable and I know the NV40 did not run it 'terribly', but it's possible the demo was running slightly faster on the X800. This would seem to be in line with preliminary benchmarks; Far Cry for instance. We haven't seen UE3 on the X800 yet short for the few who got to see it at GDC.
I also take everything Epic says with a grain of salt. They haven't exactly given me a reason not to.

on NV40 - GeForce 6800 (probably Ultra) at around 15 to 20 frames per second.
I'm sure R420 - Radeon X800 was running it at a similar framerate.
both well under 30fps.
I'd imagine that R500 and NV50 will get 30+ fps in Unreal Engine 3
then R600 and NV60, graphics processors released the same year (2006) will rip through Unreal Engine 3 and games based on it at 60fps.

Epic is heavily influenced by nvidia, more so then any other developer. Bribing them with woman and cigars may sound rediculous but you'd be surprised how much money talks. The fact that they're adding SM3.0 support to a game that doesn't even heavily use DX8 should speak volumes. It's just another nvidia can add to their list of TWIMTBP games that 'support' SM3.0 so they can refer to it when pushing SM3.0 as the main feature of their card versus the competitor.
Epic haven't exactly lied about anything, but then again you'll never hear them say ATI's card runs the game faster, even if it does.
