S3 has quite a winner on their hands with the Savage 3D. What can you expect to pay for cards equipped with this chip? A very cheap $99-149 for 4MB cards and about $50 more for the 8 meg version. ogr.com <<<The cost of a 2D card and a V2 is still less than a $300 TNT. Then consider that 3DFX is coming out with the first of several products that will blow TNT and everyone else out of the water for less money. <<< S3 Savage 3D 2X AGP = 4X AGP with Texture compression Banshee 1X AGP >>>The Banshee. Rampage. Etc. Everyone else is a whole design cycle behind the curve 3DFX is defining.<<<
