S3 DeltaChrome S8 Nitro has nothing to boast here: the performance of the new solution can only be compared with that of GeForce FX 5600 Ultra.

Another complete fiasco. And what else did you expect from super-sampling? We can only wait for S3 Graphics software people to implement more optimal anti-aliasing techniques in their drivers, as they have promised.

Hm, this is also far from positive: S3 DeltaChrome S8 Nitro can be compared with only that of GeForce FX 5600 Ultra, even though S3 DeltaChrome S8 Nitro is a flagman of the DeltaChrome graphics processor family. As for Eye Candy mode, Aquamark simply reported that DeltaChrome doesn’t support FSAA at all.
