S3 graphics cards return to US market
Fremont (CA) - Via has begun selling S3 graphics cards to American users. The Gammachrome series cards will be sold through the S3 Graphics website.
With the sale of S3's graphics business to Via Technologies about five years ago, the firm's graphics cards almost instantly disappeared from the American market. According to Via, demand for S3 graphics cards in North America has been growing "especially for the latest PCI Express 3D graphics and especially video and HDTV solutions."
"The launch of the GStore coupled with the introduction of S3 Graphics-branded retail PCI Express graphics boards marks a major milestone in our history," said Gerry Liu vice president of Marketing at S3 Graphics. "Opening the GStore with products that we have designed and manufactured not only assures the level of quality that we demand, it gets us closer to the end user in our home market."
