This driver works better on Windows XP than the S3 Trio 3D/2X Driver on AOpens site for Windows 2000 (S3 Inc. Driver version 5.30.0). On my computer it had problems with the new UI, so I tryed this one and it works great. ![]() So I thought I'd post it. You can get it off the 3D Navigator Installation CD ROM if you have it. Just goto Start > Control Panel> Printers and Other Hardware > Add Hardware > VGA Adapter (VGA Compatible) > Install from specific location (advanced) > Uncheck 'Search CD ROM Drives' and select 'Include this location in the search'> Select the folder you unzipped driver too> let windows install it> reboot> change your graphics settings after the reboot.

Virge on life support After the release of last Virge in summer of 1997, out featured and outperformed since day one, S3 was going to have a tough time because their next generation architecture was still one year away. This long window was to be filled with yet another respin of S3d architecture. Undeniably no longer acceptable for any true gamer, S3 decided to use it's immensely successful Trio brand. Thus the name Trio3D does not raise much hope for 3D gaming, it should probably merely imply that 2D line of accelerators just became 3D capable- at whatever performance. The product was positioned as a SOHO productivity solution and as such became quite successful at OEM builds. Thanks to its aggressive pricing it spread even to gamers on extreme budget. What were they going through in 1998? Trio3D Trio3D offered great 2D and video acceleration with it's new 128 bit engine. S3 however, did not go into details describing 3d engine. There are two clear reasons for that- different positioning and ancient Virge architecture. Fortunately, there were significant features added to stay in touch with the rapid development. 'Business-Ready' Trio3D chip should support all important alpha blending modes, which should greatly improve 3d quality over Virge. However, much needed performance enhancements are nowhere to be found. There is a command interface, increasing bus efficiency and support for 8 MB of memory but neither of those can really help. Trio3D typically features 4 MB of SGRAM and such card is in the test. ![]() The 10ns memory is ticking at 100 MHz and core clock does not seem to raise over old classic models. For some reason overclocking headroom is gone, one is lucky if he can go beyond 110% percent. Trio3D/2X with newer SDRAM is doing better, my card in test could overclock by 20%+ and others with lower default clocks had headroom even higher. But for my tests I picked a card with 100 MHz default memory clock, to compare directly with GX2 and first Trio3D. Trio3Ds drivers have CommandDMA enabled by default and this setting is unusable on my main test rig with KT133 chipset. I tried those cards in motherboard with SiS 735 and the DMA is working fine there. Performance can go up by even 10%, but only in low resolutions where fillrate limits are avoided. To remain comparable with previous tests my benches were done in same KT133 board with CommandDMA disabled. Trio3D/2X is yet another refresh, from 1999. 2d part was updated once again and this time even 3d performance was improved. There are actually new features, which is surprising given target consumer. AGP 2x is supported with texturing from system memory. Bubble shooter download free. That is rather cosmetic improvement since most of 2X cards carry 8 MB of memory, more than enough for such anemic architecture.
