SiS is well known for their integrated graphics chips, which end up being a cheap integrated solution for business users. What they have really lacked is a true gamer’s graphic chipset. They tried to get in on that territory back in June 2002 with the introduction of the Xabre 400. At the time they succeeded somewhat, with the Xabre 400’s feature support and performance winning out slightly against its competitor at the time, the GeForce4 MX. However, that did not last long. Two major problems plagued its existence. Both 3D image quality and drivers were not very good, showing very bad texture and filtering quality. More importantly was the fact that the Radeon 9000 Pro was announced in July and outclassed it both in performance and image quality. Falling prices on the GeForce4 Ti 4200 and Radeon 8500LE also pushed out the GeForce4 MX as well as the SiS Xabre 400.
