Matrox to release new product?

[Pertti]

Ant,

"first will be tomorrow" - when is tomorrow ? (and where ?)

[Ant]

Tomorrow is the day after today and no one is gonna guess both, one is easy the other I wasn't expecting.

[LrngToFly]

Which is the one that expires first? The one we're expecting or the one we're not?

Damn, I'm like an impatient little kid...

Also, what day does the second NDA expire?

The unexpected will be first, all will be told by the end of this week. It's not all that exciting really

[Maggi]

LOL

... the day after today ...

Nice one Ant !

But, it may not be exciting for you ... because you've already seen it

Will ever be a G400 MAX 32Mb without Dual Head ? Comparing the "normal" G400 it's quite a difference on pricing having this capability (which by the way I don't have the extra room, or money, for a 2nd monitor)

Ant!
Not all that exciting?
I bet a bunch of people around this forum wet themselves over the unexpected one

[troop]

It appears that the specs for the next board are pretty well set so the announcement , when it comes next spring , will not be the suprise we would otherwise experience. Dan Wood, Technical Marketing Director for Matrox, has set them out in the current MAXIMUM PC ,viz,
" The year 2000 videocard will have at least four times the fill of a cutting-edge videocard today. Fill rates these days are well above 300 megapixel, so its got to be well above a gigapixel;its got to have support for all the features of DirectX7;its got to have some ability to bumpmapp and have multihead display; and framerates have to be extremely high,along with colour quality. You must support higher resolution textures . And I think there's real interest in solving the anti-aliasing problem at the next step of the game. "

Heheh.Now it appears the dickheads who choose
Nvidia GeForce will get half those features and the losers who take a V4 will get the other half . We will get it all.

Oh and BTW , he mentions that retail is a small part of the Matrox income stream which , as PaulC I believe mentioned ,may account for the miniscule retail supply of the MAX at present.
