I was prompted by a viewer's comment to test another game on S3's GammaChrome S18 Pro, from my latest video (https://youtu.be/_56eNWiQZOM). That game being FEAR. So here you are!
Settings were the same as from my 5800 Ultra vs 9700 Pro Card Battles video, 1024x768, mostly max (volumentric lights set to low, light detail set to minimum).
Analysis -- The GammaChrome S18 Pro proves once again that its shader performance is head and shoulders above the FX architecture, performing right on par with the X600XT. With a few tweaks this game would have been very playable for gamers at the time, and is honestly one of the more impressive showings for the S3 card! Thank you @Halon1234 for prompting this comparison!

@TheMajorTechie is putting out an all-points bulletin for anyone that might have the skills or expertise to help him solve the problem on his non-working Engineering Sample S3 Chrome 460 GTX. This is an unreleased card so reviving it would allow us to document it on YouTube. You can email him at techiebusinessyt@gmail.com

Hey guys. As of this moment, I've disabled Memberships for my channel. Due to current life circumstances, I'm unable to consistently work on content for my channel, and frankly, I don't feel right continuing to accept monthly contributions from my members while that's the case. Reading the FAQ from YouTube, I understand that the last payment you've made will be refunded to you.
Thanks to all my generous supporters that have been Members and have helped the channel to this point, and I hope some day I can get back into doing what I love when life finally settles down again. Thank you all for your understanding!
