I don't know if anyone even remembers S3, they were a graphics card maker back in the 90's along with other small graphics makers like Voodoo. The company however went down the drain in 2001 and vanished. Through their new parent company Via they have tried to make a come back the past few years releasing a few lower end graphics cards like the Deltachrome, Gammachrome and Chrome S27. None were apparently bad, and seemed to match ATI and Nvidia offerings in the lower range.

Well all that changes now... according to various websites this december they will be launching their first mid range graphics card since the company went under.

S3 to introduce DX10-compatible GPUs before 2008 - TechSpot News

S3 Chrome 460 256/512mb is expected to drop on the market this December or January and will be in direct competition with the Geforce 8600 and Radeon HD 2600 line of cards.

S3 seems to be serious about re-entry and have been extensively trying to advertise their cards... Look out Nvidia and Ati, an old beast has awoken...

Opinions?

"ULTRA LOW POWER" isn't the kind of thing I look for in a graphics card.

They mean that it uses very low amounts of electricity not that its gaming preformance is weak.
