Pete's Hardware heeft een preview van de S3 Savage4 in elkaar geknutseld. Een stukje uit Piet's verhaal:
The full feature list is certainly impressive and bodes well for the newly christened Savage4. S3 have increased the maximum memory support to 32Mb which will certainly be plenty, even for ultra hardcore gamers. With the added bonus of S3TC, this could become an effective 160Mb texture memory (assuming 5:1 compression with all 32Mb used as texture storage). Of course in practice this will allow the use of much, much higher resolution texture maps which will allow unprecedented levels of detail in forthcoming games. The following shots were taken using high resolution textures running in the Unreal engine. They show off the potential of S3TC.
De specs van de Savage4 zijn best wel vet en met een beetje mazzel ligt het ding rond april in de winkel.
