S3 DeltaChrome S4 Graphics Chip Reviewed

Posted by simoniker on from the third-wheel? dept.

EconolineCrush writes "The Tech Report has a preview of S3's budget DeltaChrome S4 graphics chip for PC graphics cards. While not the fastest option for games, the S4 looks like a credible alternative to ATI and NVIDIA's dominance of the graphics market - there are some handy analysis graphs comparing performance in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Far Cry. Better still, the S4 has component HDTV output built right into the chip, making it an intriguing option for home theater systems."

      Tell me, how hard did you have to push to get your Hercules card in a PCI slot?

    Just you wait until BitBoys releases their chip onto the market! It's going to melt everything else out there!
