    S3 Graphics announces Chrome20 series

    They're going after the mainstream market; after the users who want to buy a graphics card, install it, and be able to go forth and play all their games at their monitor's native resolution at default graphics settings. S3G haven't been quiet without reason, they've been working on putting together a product which might help them score some of that mainstream market share.

    Cool another company in the market should shake things up. I used to have an s3 968 or something. I'm guessing this could be aimed at system builders rather than the average user on this forum.

    Well they have been talking about the 'out of the box experience' and OEMs don't tend to receive graphics cards in boxes...

    Quote from the article :

    "The board was a reference design with a tiny little fan-sink (see picture) supporting S3G’s assertion that the power dissipation is very low."

    What picture?

    Ah right, well back on topic. Anyone care to guess what sort of performance we are likely to see from this card? What's it compariable with from Ati/Nvidia? 6200? X300? or higher?
