SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 2001

3dfx Interactive, Inc. (Nasdaq:TDFX) ("3dfx") today announced that, pursuant to a delisting notice received by 3dfx from Nasdaq on May 11, 2001, its common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market effective as of the opening of business on May 16, 2001. At that time 3dfx's common stock will be available for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB"). The decision by Nasdaq to delist 3dfx's securities was based on Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(B) and results from the failure to maintain a $1.00 minimum bid price for a time period sufficient to satisfy Nasdaq officials.

The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that offers real-time quotes, last-sale prices and volume information on selected over-the-counter equity securities. 3dfx will retain its current stock symbol:TDFX.

3dfx expects to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001 on May 16, 2001.
