Reply #47 - 01.02.05 at 12:40:13 I'm not gonna use it for the moment, but for what I read about it, it can almost only run OpenGL games. If that's right, it really is a shame, since the specs are quite good.

Yes, it only supports opengl at 32 bit color.

As for speed, I'd wager a V4-4500 is faster based on watching it run through Quake II.

This card is optimized for workstation applications, not entertainment.

I wonder if there ever was a S3 Savage 200 with 64MB of Ram or a DDR version of that card, I do know that there was a 64MB version planned but I never saw one, does anyone else have more info on this? I'm still an old S3 Fan

my old setup was a Diamond S3 Savage 2000 with a Skywell Voodoo2 SLi Set 2x 12MB Cheesy

when I had my Pentium!!!/E 650Mhz

Sjooooooo Cooooooooool does that one really work? Well, it looks like ATi AMR technology or 3dfx SLi Cheesy

or was each Savage4 chip needed for a dual VGA setup? I have never seen a beauty S3 like this one, Very Nice Gary Wink

Maybe you would know if there was a 64 meg S3 Savage 2000 Planned or ever built? I thought at first that Power Color had something to do with the 64 Meg Savage 2000 but I'm not so sure, Do you know if it was ever made?
