heh, the blasphemy, S3 will never be better than nvidia, they might give a fight in the budget part of the market, but even there they are being totally asswhoooped. I think the last S3 card cost as much as a top end GF 5800 or something then and was outperformed by the lowest nVidia budget card, I'll edit when I can find some links.

EDIT:
Most recent mention I found of an S3 the deltachrome:
Anandtech preview
But that never gor further than that preview, so I guess it just vanished.

before that there was XGI with their volari (THG) which as you can see got owned.
