S3 Announces New GPU, Magical Linux Driver
In addition to VIA announcing a register documentation drop and driver partnership, S3 Graphics, which is a VIA Technologies joint venture company, has announced a new graphics card. Earlier this year S3 announced the Chrome 440 GTX, but today's press release christens the Chrome 500 series. The Chrome 500 series is compatible with OpenGL 3.0 (and Microsoft DirectX 10.1) and is quite an affordable graphics card.
The first discrete graphics card in the S3 Chrome 500 series is the Chrome 530 GT and is a PCI Express 2.0 part with OpenGL 2.1/3.0 support. This graphics card is set to retail for less than $50 USD.
