I feel sorry for them, they work hard as a company but no one will pay $140 now for a card with the performance of a 6600, they can get a 6800/7600 for that price and it will kill the S series.

But I like that the company is still putting out cards.

I just noticed.... the video card's GPU only uses like 11 watts of power :-O. Atleast they have something going for them

Wasn't this card announced like 2 years ago, and they just release it now? :laugh:

Sorry to burst your bubble S3, but too little, way too late :roll:

Erm.... it was released then. It was on newegg for more than a year.

I don't think that version had an HDTV output or was in low profile, but this was definitely successfully launched a year ago.

I remember seeing this at newegg before the x1x00 series radeon cards and when only the 7800s of the 7x00 series were out. This is way old :ohwell:

want s3 the FIRST to release a directX 10 card???

S3 really will have a hard time trying to compete with the huge budgets of AMD and Nvidia, but it's good they're trying, can only really be good for comsumers to have more choice.

The first to show one, I don't think it's released.

A very promising aspect of said card and the S27..... low power consumption. The DX10 card they showed off only had a small active heatsink, not even covering a majority of the card.

But my guess is its a midrange card at a high end price.

maybe since it is so low volts to the gpu someone will get the heads outta there arse and put it in a laptop 11WATTS thats insane plus it performs w/ the 6600 so its ok for newer games it would make a good budget laptop
