SiS Releases 0.13-micron Xabre600 GPU

EconolineCrush writes "NVIDIA may be struggling to bring the GeForce FX to market on a 0.13-micron manufacturing processes, but it looks like SiS has beat them to the punch. Tech Report has a review of the new Xaber600, which is the first mainstream GPU that I know of to be manufactured using 0.13-micron process technology. The Xabre600's performance isn't overly impressive, even when compared to a low-end Radeon 9000 Pro, but it's nice to see SiS one-upping the graphics giants when it comes to process technology."

The fucker was really cheap. Sub $100. It's got a few flaws, but you don't pay the Ass Rape premium on the SiS cards as you do on nVidia cards. I'm getting about 6800 in 3DMark2001. Bang for buck the thing is pretty good.

They get the Profane Fucking Seal of Approval.
