I thought I'd seen it all: G400 but not from MATROX

Can't be anything to do with Matrox - their's says "OpenGLcompatible"

All it is, is a rebadged OEM G400 - nothing particularly special, unless Matrox don't know about this, or are not given recognition in the manual / on the box

Isn't this the first time a matrox product that matrox made itself is being made by someone other then matrox? Werid...maybe they will come out with a MAX verison and help out with the shortages of getting the card and someplace other then matrox its self!

My concern is with growth. You must grow to become one, to become whole, to become sane. I am not going to force sanity upon you. Rather, I am going to bring out your insanity. When it is pulled out completely, throw into the wind, sanity will happen to you, you will grow. You will be transformated. That is the meaning of meditation

I wonder if Matrox knows about this. The question is WHY would they start doing this?

[Kruzin]

oooo...what a pretty blue heatsink.

[Haig]

Hi guys,

I believe they did something similar with the TnT cards.

In any case, it's their version of our G400 card. We gave them the part list and the schematics and they are manufacturing it and supporting it themselves.

We are not supporting this in anyway including driver and technical support.

Darn pretty heatsink anyway.

[Scytale]

Okay... it's also somewhat interesting to hear that Matrox has started doing the NVIDEA thing...

[space7]

Matrox please I want the blue heatsink

You mean somebody else is going to be writing the drivers?? Now that's progress!

[space7]

That mean that I have to smock a non-Matrox card to test them ?

That VGA bios on motherboard "solution" is enough to scare me away.
