looks like they made it just to run benchmarks.

kind of disappointing. It's going to be hard to compete against the big two.

I thought Nvidia bought S3 a loooong time ago???

Or was that just their texture compressing technique (can't remmeber the name, S3TC i think)??

VIA bought S3 Graphics, and still own it. S3 texture compression became part of DirectX at some point, with DX7 if I remember correctly.

Never heard of this S27...

And VIA... using their Envy-24 HT-S chip... poor customer service.
