DOS Days

S3 Downloads

On this page you will find all the downloads I have for S3's graphics card and sound cards.

In many cases, the same driver can be used for an entire family of related graphics cards, since the differences are only slight. Just be sure to choose the correct operating system. In other cases there are several versions of driver for the same card - usually you would pick the latest, but if you have problems, try one of the older ones. S3 got a reputation for poor Windows drivers, but if you're only playing DOS games anything pre-Savage era is a good choice with excellent DOS compatibility.

The following table provides shortcut links to the various sections of the download page, including a summary of the various drivers and utilities that are downloadable here at DOS Days:
