Hi all,
I recently picked up a S3 Savage 3D 8MB & once installed it reports in CPUID etc as “S3 Inc. Savage 3D/MV (Engineering Release)”
“0x5333 (0x8A21)” Anything anyone can tell me about this card?
I suppose it's the official S3 driver that say that while the board might be just a (still not common) Savage3D board. Any photo of the video card?
Here’s the card
Someone might have just flashed it with a video BIOS that was not meant to be distributed.
Here’s a screenshot of CPUID
"Engineering Release" is just a part of the S3 driver name. They also did this with drivers for other S3 cards. Look here: https://www.video-drivers.com/companies/906.htm
Your card is a common production type.
