S3's Video Cards

[legendz411]

Are these any good at ALL? All the reviews I have read completely trashed them. The test shoed horrible frame rates, poor efficientcy, etc... Where would these rank with newer cards today? Like, better then an x800 or worse then a 7300 GS.



Just a discussion starter.

S3's best card has the same or worse performance than a 7300 GT in ALL games.

In games the card is not optimized for, the performance can be worse than a 7300 GS.

That's the story of S3...they've NEVER had a card and driverset that was decent in all games. Back in the day they used to optimize for Quake III, Unreal Tournament, and nothing else.
