                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Participants and Administrator of the
STB Systems, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits with
fund information present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for benefits of the STB Systems, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan at December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is additional information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund
information in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
with fund information is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather
than to present the changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund.
These supplemental schedules and fund information are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Schedules I and II and the fund information have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

401(k) SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.     DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

       The following description of the STB Systems, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
       (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer
       to the Plan document for a more comprehensive description of the Plan's
       provisions.

       GENERAL

       The Plan, established in 1991, is a defined contribution plan for all
       employees of STB Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or "Employer") who have
       completed one month of eligible service and elect to participate. The
       Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
       Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

       As discussed in Note 6, the Company intends to merge the Plan into the
       3dfx 401(k) Plan during 1999.

       CONTRIBUTIONS

       Eligible employees may elect to make contributions to the Plan by means
       of compensation reductions of up to 15% of their compensation. Employees
       may allocate their contributions to investment options in 1% increments.

       The Company matches 50% of up to 4% of the employees' compensation
       reduction contribution. The Company may also make discretionary
       contributions. During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company did
       not make any discretionary contributions.

       PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS

       Participants' accounts are credited with the participants' contributions,
       the Employer's matching contributions and allocations of (a) the
       Company's discretionary contributions and (b) Plan earnings. The
       Company's discretionary contribution is allocated based upon the ratio of
       the eligible participant's compensation to the total compensation for all
       eligible participants. Plan earnings are allocated based on the ratio of
       the participant's account balance to the total account balances in the
       respective investment. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is
       the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

       At December 31, 1998 and 1997, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled
       $8,051 and $3,610, respectively. These funds are first applied to pay
       Plan expenses then are used to reduce the Employer's contributions.

</TABLE>

       INVESTMENT OPTIONS

       Contributions are invested, in accordance with participants' elections,
       in accounts administered by Principal Life Insurance Company (the
       "Principal"), the Plan's custodian. The following investment alternatives
       were available under the Plan during the year ended December 31, 1998:

       o      Principal Bond & Mortgage Account. This account invests in
              intermediate-term fixed-income loans, most of which are bonds and
              mortgages issued to companies. The account may also invest in
              publicly traded bonds.

       o      Principal Stock Index 500 Account. This account invests primarily
              in common stocks of those companies included in the Standard &
              Poor's 500 Stock Index.

       o      Principal Large Company Growth Account. This account invests in
              common stocks of large, established companies whose earnings are
              expected to grow at above average rates. Stocks held in this
              account are often seasoned companies with competitive advantages.

       o      Principal Large Company Blend Account. This account invests
              primarily in common stocks of large companies whose capital,
              earnings, and dividends are expected to grow at above average
              rates. The account invests in both "growth" and "value" stocks,
              resulting in a "blend" portfolio.

       o      Principal International Stock Account. This account invests
              primarily in common stocks of companies located outside of the
              U.S., mainly in Western Europe and Asia. The account may also
              occasionally invest in preferred stocks or convertible bonds of
              these companies.

       o      Principal Stable Value Fund Account. This account invests
              primarily in insurance contracts issued by insurance companies and
              investments from other financial institutions which offer
              stability of principal.

       o      T. Rowe Price New Horizons Fund. This fund invests primarily in
              common stocks of small, rapidly growing companies. The fund seeks
              to invest in a diversified group of emerging growth companies
              still in the early stages of their life cycle.

       o      Vanguard Primecap Fund. This fund is very diverse and invests
              primarily in companies with market values between $1 billion and
              $5 billion.

       o      Vanguard Windsor II Fund. This fund invests mainly in stocks that
              are considered undervalued relative to their current prices.

       o      Vanguard Asset Allocation Fund. This fund invests in a mix of
              stocks, long-term U.S. Treasury bonds, and short-term money market
              instruments.

       o      STB Systems, Inc. common stock. Funds are invested in common stock
              of the Employer.

       The New England Guaranteed Interest Contract was a previously available
       investment option. Current contributions may not be allocated to this
       account.

       As discussed in Note 6, during 1999 the investment option under the Plan
       to invest in STB Systems, Inc. common stock was discontinued as a choice
       for new investments.

       Participants may change their investment options daily.

       PARTICIPANT NOTES RECEIVABLE

       Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a
       maximum equal to the lesser of (a) or (b) below:

       (a)    $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding balance of loans during
              the one-year period ending on the day before the new loan is made;

       (b)    The greater of (1) or (2), reduced by (3) below:

              (1)    One-half of the participant's vested account balance;

              (2)    $10,000.

              (3)    Any outstanding loan balance on the date the new loan is
                     made.

       All loans are required to be repaid within five years. The loans are
       secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear a
       reasonable rate of interest as determined by the Loan Administrator.
       Principal and interest are repaid through payroll deductions.

       PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

       In the event of a participant's termination of employment, retirement,
       disability, or death, the participant or beneficiary receives an amount
       equal to the vested value of their account in a lump-sum payment. In the
       event of a participant's termination of employment, the participant may
       also elect to have the vested portion of the account balance transferred
       to another plan.

       EXPENSES OF ADMINISTERING THE PLAN

       Forfeitures are applied to pay Plan expenses. Certain transaction costs
       borne by the Plan are charged to the individual participant who initiated
       the transaction by reducing his/her account balance. Some costs of
       administering the Plan are paid by the Company.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

       The financial statements of the Plan are prepared in accordance with
       generally accepted accounting principles.

       USE OF ESTIMATES

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.
       Actual results could differ from these estimates.

       INVESTMENTS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

       Investments are stated at fair value. Valuation of investments is based
       on the last recorded sales price at year-end, as reported by the
       principal security exchange on which the security is traded. Securities
       transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest is recognized
       on an accrual basis.

       The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits presents
       the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments
       which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized
       appreciation (depreciation) of those investments.

       TAX STATUS

       Management of the Company believes that the Plan is qualified under
       Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore believes the
       trust is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a). The Internal Revenue
       Service granted a favorable letter of determination to the Plan in
       October 1993. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
       letter. However, management of the Company is unaware of any variations
       in the operations of the Plan from the terms of the Plan document as
       amended.

       PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

       Benefits are recorded when paid.

       RECLASSIFICATIONS

       Certain reclassifications have been made to the amounts reported in the
       prior year in order to conform to current year presentation.

3.     INVESTMENTS

       Interests in pooled separate accounts and in common/collective trusts and
       shares of registered investment companies are maintained by the Principal
       as custodian. Shares of STB Systems, Inc. common stock are maintained by
       Dain Rauscher as custodian. The New England Guaranteed Interest Contract
       is maintained by New England Insurance and Investment Company as
       custodian.

4.     RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       Certain Plan investments are interests in pooled separate investment
       accounts managed by the Principal. The Principal is also the custodian of
       the Plan.

6.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

       On May 13, 1999, the Company merged with 3dfx Interactive, Inc. ("3dfx")
       and now operates as 3dfx Interactive of Texas.

       Coincident with the merger, shares of STB Systems, Inc. common stock held
       in the Plan were exchanged for 3dfx common stock and the investment
       option under the Plan to invest in STB Systems, Inc. common stock was
       discontinued as a choice for new investments. Participants with account
       balances allocated to this investment option at the date of the merger
       may remain invested in the 3dfx common stock or may divest the 3dfx
       common stock until further action is taken by the 3dfx Board of
       Directors.

       3dfx has indicated that it intends to merge the Plan into the 3dfx 401(k)
       Plan during 1999. 3dfx has also granted service credit under the 3dfx
       401(k) Plan to any employee eligible to participate in the STB 401(k)
       Plan immediately prior to the merger date.
