	S3 Savage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seemingly unwilling to invest the time and effort required to setup a structured internal driver development team, Savage technology was sold to VIA for $321m, where it become an integrated motherboard solution initially as part of the Twister chipset, where Savage 2000 2D silicon was merged with Savage 4 3D hardware.
		To this extent, had S3 shown the kind of corporate determination AMD has made famous, it is likely they could have remained a major player in the discrete graphics card market.
		As a result of being sold to VIA for $321m, Savage hardware became an integrated motherboard solution, initially as part of the Twister chipset, where Savage 2000 2D silicon was merged with Savage 4 3D hardware.

	Sharky Extreme - Hardware - S3 Savage 4 Pro Xtreme 'Hands-on' Preview
		S3's Savage 4 part (both the PRO and PRO+) was, in general, well received.
		S3 seems to have recognized that the graphics card industry has split into two wildly different camps.
		S3 is due to issue the surprise announcement of the Savage4 Xtreme part and the Sharky Extreme lab (complete with half-eaten sandwiches and executive cashews) has for the past few days been extensively testing out a beta board with this new part in residence.

	Electronic News: Among Savage Competitors - S3's Savage4 graphics accelerator, ATI Technologies' All-in-Wonder 128 ...
		S3 is going to need to start having better quarters and fiscal years than in 1998, however, if it is looking to make that comeback.
		One of the advantages S3 has on its side, however, is that it has a "name brand and can get immediately recognized for who they are in the market" which is something that "start-ups and newcomers in the market have a hard time establishing," said Hudson.
		Reports indicate S3 and ATI may be only the first of many to introduce next generation graphics products as Nvidia Corp. and Matrox Graphics Inc. are looking to roll out their high performance mainstream accelerators in the coming months.

	Ars Technica: Viper II vs. ATI Rage Fury MAXX - Page 1 - (4/2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		S3's announcement of the Savage 2000 brought with it waves of applause from onlookers, largely on account of hype that surrounds the promise of hardware-based transform and lighting.
		In other words, there was a general sense that S3 was on the up and up, and of course, it doesn't hurt when you originally claim that your next offering will sport 40% more pixel-pumpin' power than it actually does (and everyone is guilty of that).
		Now it's April of 2000 and, with S3 sellin' the graphics biz to VIA, it's not clear whether S3's newly found aspirations were acquired alongside their technology intellectual property.

	Diamond Viper II graphics card
		Before the production chipset arrived, S3 quoted some most impressive numbers from a 200MHz version of the chip, but actually making these in quantity appeared to be beyond their capabilities.
		S3 went further than this, normal, level of misdirection during the Savage 2000's development, though.
		S3 are, therefore, quite right when they say that hardware TandL is not yet a terribly important feature.

	S3 DeltaChrome Preview
		The company we’re discussing today, S3, was one of the larger companies in 3D graphics, although early on many enthusiasts jokingly referred to their Virge line of products as 3D graphics decelerators.
		Realizing this, S3 sought to reinvent themselves by producing an all new graphics core, Savage3D, which was introduced in mid ‘98.
		With Savage3D, S3 wasn’t shooting for the high end of the market, instead they were going for the mainstream consumer.

	savage(4): S3 Savage video driver - Linux man page
		savage is an Xorg driver for the S3 Savage family video accelerator chips.
		This generally produces the best results with the mobile chips (/MX and /IX), since the BIOS knows how to handle the critical but unusual timing requirements of the various LCD panels supported by the chip.
		There is a chip bug in the Savage graphics engine that can cause a bus lock when reading the engine status register under heavy load, such as when scrolling text or dragging windows.

		I was recently given the opportunity to take a first look at the Diamond Viper II (Savage 2000 based board) at the S3 campus in Santa Clara, Ca.
		S3 threw a small party to celebrate the introduction of the S2000 by inviting members of the press to play and test S2000 while there.
		It sounds like a tremendous amount of work had to be done to go from the Savage III to something of this caliber and my expectations were very high while investigating what the card could really do.

		Hot on the heels of S3's Savage 4 Pro Xtreme chip announcement earlier this month comes another announcement, which we touched upon briefly in our preview of the Xtreme.
		A few weeks ago, S3 formally unveiled plans for their next generation part (the dust has settled and we've been given the go ahead now to print), the Savage 2000, formerly known as the GX4.
		The word from S3 is that Savage 2000+ is targeted to scuffle it out at the 'high-end' of the 3D card wild west arena with the likes of NVIDIA & 3dfx's next generation part.

		If you have a Savage chip with VIA's vendor ID (1106), then it is a CastleRock, not a Savage, and my driver does not support it.

	S3 Diamond Viper II review - IT Reviews
		It uses S3's latest Savage 2000 engine (imaginative name alert), and features some natty little features that are most welcome in a gamer's card.
		A single-pass quad-texture engine is part of the chip design, which S3 claims will allow all shadowing, reflections, lighting and bump-mapping to be carried out in a single pass, considerably helping performance.
		Backed up with 32MB of SDRAM memory, the 128-bit Savage 2000 chip can handle a top resolutions of 1920 x 1080 in 16.7 million colours, although at 60Hz you're better off dropping down to 1280 x 1024, where a more eye-friendly 85Hz is available.

		In February, the company announced a new graphics chip called the Savage4 in a major comeback attempt for the company, which once lead the desktop graphics chip market.
		Potashner said that S3 expects to begin producing its new Savage chips in the third quarter, with volume production in the fourth quarter of this year.

	AnandTech: S3 Savage 2000 (Diamond Viper II) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Savage 3D was the first consumer/gaming level graphics accelerator that had addressed the topic of possibly using a virtually lossless texture compression algorithm in order to address the issue of memory bandwidth effecting texture resolutions and complexity.
		Only Hercules, a company that no longer exists in the same form that they once did, was able to make a decent Savage 3D card, but only after hand picking the chips they would use on their boards and running extensive tests on their products before finally allowing them into the hands of the consumers.
		At the same time, the Savage 2000 was to be the second consumer level graphics chipset of this generation to feature an on-board hardware transform and lighting engine that would help to off-load some of the transform and lighting calculations from the CPU and onto the graphics card.

	S3 Savage 2000
		I have a S3 Savage 2000 graphics card which is showing up as having no drivers installed in Device manager.
		The good news is that S3 Graphics maintains a site with drivers for some of their older cards: http://ranger.s3graphics.com/swlib/ The bad news is that there are no XP drivers there for the Savage 2000.
		It may be worthwhile to download the S3 graphics chipset ID utility: http://www.s3graphics.com/Wins3id.exe to see if you have a supported chipset (not a 410).
