Fog and Savage 4 chipset

[Elmo]

I contacted Diamond about not seeing fog with their Stealth III S540 Xtreme card (Savage 4 chip) and their Viper 2 card (Savage 2000 chip). Here is the reply:

"Fog tables should work with this chipset, yes. I'll send the original message up, and see if we can have it looked into. It's a pretty minor (non-fatal) issue but I'll report it to see if it's happened before, etc."

If anyone else has a Diamond card and is not getting fog I would urge you to email their tech support through the website at www.diamondmm.com. It sounds like this may only get attention if enough people point out the problem.

Hey elmo:

I have the Savage 4 chipset on a creative labs card.

Same thing, I get a little fog, but overall the card does a pretty sucky job of showing fog in CM.

I got my card tweaked in about 9 million different directions, but from what I gather from other posts, it's an accross the board problem with these chipsets. Little or no fog at all.

Better to make the wrong decision than be the sorry son of a bitch to scared to make one at all

Well in that case maybe we need to email S3 for a fix rather than the individual card makers.
