Die it do anything? I remember S3 cards saying you would get HW acceleration, but it was impossible to tell a difference to software rendering.

It worked at very low frames-per-second. Edges and textures were more well-defined. I was very disappointed. I picked up a Voodoo card soon after. S3 made a major mistake releasing unusable 3d acceleration.

Virge provided hardware path at the approximate speed of Pentium 100 rendering 320x200 in software. If your CPU was faster switching to Virge was a speed downgrade.

It had better lighting at least.
