S3 Drops The Ball

1

If you checked out those Savage2000 articles linked earlier today you probably noticed that benchmarks are faily impressive, but a bit behind the GeForce numbers. Well word from Savage2000.com that has been confirmed by S3 is that they are dropping the specs of the card a bit. It will now only be running a 125mhz core and 155mhz memory clock, which comes out to about 500megatexels fill rate (125 x 4 from that quad pipeline). Originally they had planned on 700megatexels, or a 175mhz core.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
