Matrox kicks 3dfx and NVIDIA's butt

[Cloudy]

I know you just love seeing others admitting what you all already "KNOW"...
So here's a candy:

Did you ever doubt that it'd beat the others?

Um, I could be wrong, but I'm sure that this isn't quite right:



Surely there's a graphics card SOMEWHERE in there?

I like this quote:

I can't imagine why anyone would choose the V3.
As for TNT2 Ultra, it was simply left in the dust, and this with a mature set of drivers. The budget minded crowd would be wise to consider the Ultra, but only if you can find one at a bargain price.

"Matrox Graphics is a Canadian company. Many assume that this makes Matrox a small company, but in reality Matrox employ more people than Nvidia."

Yet try and get one to answer an E-mail !

They do more than Nvidia though. Networking, professional video and croissant baking.

A laptop is advertised with a 'durable magnesium case'. Does that mean if I let it get too hot it'll flash into a blinding sphere of light?

Hi Cloudy,

is it just me or do you change your mind almost as often as I change my panties ?



Nevermind and thanx for that link !

[sixpac]

I agree with ALBPM.I'm a truck driver and..........I won't go there hehe hehe

Maggi had a little english fault, he's ok - for a crossdresser I mean.

I didn't change my mind, I just came upon it and I knew you'll like seeing it, I had to put a nice header 2 make you read it. Anyway, I don't think the G400 would have had such a success if those games were OpenGL. Anyway, for sims, and D3D games in general, I'm the first to admit that Matrox rocks. It's just that I'm a little more interested in OpenGL since I'm worjing on NT more than W9x and I'm slowly migrating to other OS as well, no D3D there.

[tish beta2]

is Maggi a boy or a girl?

Just curious....

[franksch3]

Phew,

finally a article from combatsim that doesn't spit on everything non-3dfx like John Reynolds, even though the guy doesn't even know a single technical bit about what he is trying to bash at.

[SteveC]

There's not 'e' on the end of Maggi. It's a nickname for 'Markus' (supposedly ). And he tells everyone he's a he. But with those Germans, you can never tell
