This is the only news group on my ISP which discusses S3's  Savage chipset
graphics card, I hope we don't get too flamed for posts on other
manufactures Savage cards.

Myself I have just compared a Savage3D card I replaced with an Ati Rage Fury
about 2 months ago. I just tried the new drivers with the Savage and also
the Ati DVD drivers. The older Savage drivers were terribly unstable.

The new drivers seem very good, and exceptionally stable, when I tried them
there were no problems and the speed was as good as the Rage Fury, nearly.

Unreal ran terribly slowly, the PowerVR and Glide support (Voodoo 1) worked
considerably faster. Everything else was very good, except the DVD.

DVD using the Ati software worked, but only in pure software. The TV-Out
with the new drivers was as good as the Ati Rage Fury.

Personally if these drivers had been released BEFORE I got the Rage Fury, I
wouldn't have got the Fury.
