There´s not much love shown to the S3 Savage 4.
Sure, they were not in the level of performance of a Voodoo3 or TNT2, still, they have features which make them unique and interesting, at least to me.
Especially when it comes to the Pro and Extreme variants. I find them good enough performers, at 800x600x32.
Depending on the board manufacturer, they also produce a superb image quality. I´ve got a Diamond Stealth III S540 16Mb ("pro" chip variant) and a NumberNine ("extreme" variant) with DVI , both excellent in that regard.
Do you know of any more or less comprehensive list of games that benefit from the S3 Savage4 technologies (Metal, MiniGL, S3TC)?
Be it natively or with post launch patches, of course.
If not, then here´s an invitation to elaborate one (yes, I know there are not that many of them).
I´ll start :
- Unreal
- Unreal Tournament
- Heretic II
- Rune
- Deus EX
- Resident Evil 2
What else comes to mind?
