Whoa!
It's been an hour since this has been posted and nobody mentioned anything about how their childhood was ruined by S3 drivers ?! Adi  |

Wow, this company still exists? I do still have memories of my first-ever 3d-"decelerator." Ugh, a 3D video card that couldn't do 3D. Had a nice game bundle, though. Ironically, it couldn't run the included games in hardware 3D. Sad.

Pretty soon, VIA will have a comprehensive portfolio of exciting technologies that nobody outside of SE Asia and China can find on the store shelves.

The Shader performance of Chrme400 is very excellent.

Surely this is just a "we can do this too, here's an example" thing?
If they have any sense they'll be working on OpenCL drivers. |

Wow! S3 wrote hardware-level filters!
Even if you do it 100 times faster, S3, less than a second still feels like less than a second. |
since the s3 virge in the pentium1 days, i've always supported the underdog product if it would give a market advantage and/or offered some unique features, better performance etc.
but really now, s3 have consistently made poopy cards (who buys these things?) with gaudy advertising, for about 3/4/5/? consistent graphics accelerator generations :|
