    • ]]>     S3 Chrome 430 GTWho can knock the monstrous NVidia off the king of the video market throne? I would say S3, but their newest card, the Chrome 430 GT, is made to be low powered and run cool (not a Geforce 9800 killer).
    The card is made to compete with the current Radeon HD 3450 and the NV 8400 GS, and features sweet DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 2.1 support. In tests (3DMark 06) it creams both competing card by at least 20%. It does this with a low power 65nm fabrication technology from Fujitsu (and slow DDR2 memory).
    It is refreshing (can you feel it?) to hear of a competitor to the big two, that can actually outperform them. S3 can do it, and it will only cost you $US59 for the privilege (to tell your friends you can’t run SLI or Crossfire).
