S3 Linux Driver Outperforms Its Windows Twin In Nexuiz 75
An anonymous reader writes "Chrome Center has done some benchmarks with the proprietary S3 Chrome 400/500 Driver on Linux and Windows. They compared Nexuiz frame rates on a Phenom II system with a S3 430 GT — the surprising result: The Linux driver outperforms its Windows equivalent, offering frame rates about twice as high on average. The question now: Is the Linux driver that good or the Windows driver that bad?"

You mean it's 2fps instead of 1fps?
This is S3 we're talking about right?

The S3 drivers for Windows and Linux are like a Ferrari and Lamborghini. Pretty close by themselves. But the Ferrari (Windows driver) is hitched to a trailer loaded with a backhoe (Windows).
