* S3 911, 911A (June 10, 1991) - S3's first [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] accelerators (16/256-color, high-color acceleration)
* S3 924 - 24-bit [[24-bit color|true-color]] acceleration
* S3 801, 805, 805i - mainstream [[DRAM]] [[VESA Local Bus|VLB]] Windows accelerators (16/256-color, high-color acceleration)
* S3 928 - 24/32-bit true-color acceleration, DRAM or [[VRAM]]
* S3 805p, 928p - S3's first [[Peripheral Component Interconnect|PCI]] support
* S3 Vision864, Vision964 (1994) - 2nd generation Windows accelerators (64-bit wide [[framebuffer]]). Support [[MPEG-1]] video acceleration.
* S3 Vision868, Vision968 - S3's first motion video accelerator (zoom and [[YUV]]→[[RGB]] conversion)
* [[S3 Trio]] 32, 64, 64V+, 64V2 (1995) - S3's first integrated ([[RAMDAC]]+[[VGA]]) accelerator. The 64-bit versions were S3's most successful product range.
* [[ViRGE]] (no suffix), VX, DX, GX, GX2, Trio3D, Trio3D/2X - S3's first Windows [[3D accelerator|3D-accelerators]]. Notoriously poor 3D. Sold well to [[Original Equipment Manufacturer|OEMs]] mainly because of low price and excellent 2D-performance.
* [[S3 Savage|Savage]] 3D (1998), 4 (1999), 2000 (2000) - S3's first recognizably modern 3D hardware implementation. Poor yields meant actual clock speeds were 30% below expectations, and buggy drivers caused further problems. [[S3 Texture Compression]] went on to become an industry standard, and the Savage3D's [[DVD]] acceleration was market leading at introduction. Savage2000 was announced as the first chip with integrated [[Transform and lighting|Transformation and Lighting]] (S3TL) co-processor.
* Aurora64V+, S3 ViRGE/MX, SuperSavage, [[SavageXP]] - Mobile chipsets
* ProSavage, Twister, [[UniChrome]], Chrome 9 - Integrated implementations of Savage chipset for [[VIA Technologies|VIA]] motherboards
* [[GammaChrome]], [[DeltaChrome]], [[Chrome 20 series]], [[Chrome 440 series]], [[Chrome 500 series]] - Discrete cards post acquisition by VIA. [[File:S3 chrome s27 pciexpress16x card.jpg|thumb|The Chrome S27 of the Chrome 20 series]]
* S3 GenDAC, SDAC - VGA RAMDAC with high/true-color bypass (SDAC had integrated [[Phase-locked loop|PLLs]], dot-clocks, and hardware Windows cursor)

=== Media chipsets ===
* Sonic/AD sound chipset - A programmable, [[Sigma-delta modulation|sigma-delta]] audio [[Digital-to-analog converter|DAC]], featuring an integrated PLL, stereo 16-bit analogue output
* SonicVibes - PCI Audio Accelerator
* Scenic/MX2 - [[MPEG]] Decoder
