S3 Announces DeltaChromeS4 Nitro GPU

VIA's S3 Graphics has announced a new graphics processor, the DirectX 9.0 compabitble DeltaChromeS4 Nitro.

S3 Graphics Co., Ltd, a leading supplier to the 3D graphics accelerator market, today upped the ante on the value segment of the GPU market with the launch of the DeltaChromeS4 Nitro, and pushed the performance on their mainstream GPU with the availability of the new DeltaChromeS8 Nitro.

The DeltaChromeS4 Nitro is an all-new chip that will shine in the intensely cost sensitive, value segment of the PC graphics market, where current competing solutions lack the performance punch that a full 4-pipe DirectX 9.0 hardware implementation can offer to 3D gaming. Sporting multiple hardware pixel shaders and hardware vertex shaders for quality and speed in 3D gaming previously unimaginable in the value segment.

Adoption of the new Nitro series is growing, with customers recognizing the performance, flexibility and price advantage of the DeltaChrome product range:
