New driver for Chrome
S3 Graphics has released a new beta driver that enables OpenGL 3.0 support for S3's Chrome 500 series. This will allow software developers to take advantage of OpenGL 3.0 on S3 Chrome 500 series via this new driver and GLSL 1.3 shading language on Windows XP and Vista.
The new beta driver includes new OpenGL 3.0 features, such as a new version of GLSL shader language, vertex array objects, 32-bit FP textures, four new texture compression methods, sRGB rendering/blending as well as performance enhancements for conditional rendering with highly efficient array indexing.
The new driver is available for both Windows Vista 64-bit and 32-bit and you can find them here.
