New matrox cards in the drivers

[SwAmPlAdY]

Gotta love these blunders especially coming from them

Here's what I see in the win2k drivers

G450 eTV
G450
G450 DVI
Orion PCI
Orion AGP
Condor / Test

SwAmPy

Same fer Win9x drivers, but didn't think this was news as these entries were in previous driver INI's I think...

Don't know about the previous drivers becuase I never checked. I know the Orion is some kind of imaging card from them but have no idea what the other cards are other than the G450.

Mebbe that eTv card is an MpegII capture card which would make sense. Mjpeg is associated with Marvel and RR cards so they had to come up with another name for a new codec card.

Darn you! I was just about to post this! but I think you left out some important info.

"Matrox Condor / Test"
"Matrox Millennium G450 Dual Head DVI"
"Matrox Millennium G450 Dual Head DVI PCI"
"Matrox Marvel G450 eTV"
"Matrox Orion AGP"
"Matrox Orion PCI"

Matrox Condor ??? Is it the T&L card ??

[Ant]

The only thing I'm NDA'd on is the first G450 based product, which you all obviously know about by now

Condor was the codename for the G800 I believe according to the leaked info that was circulating the Net a couple of months back. I've no idea on the Orion, a PCI board? Can't be something mainstream as they took the decision to ditch PCI a while back.

[Jorden]

What does the DVI stand for?

[HedsSpaz]

Digital Video Interface (I think).

[red2]

DVI=Digital Video Something

This is good. To see the Condor/test means that the G800 is in silicon form and probably alpha stage since it probably would have said its real name if it were beta. Anyhow this also gives us an idea of when it will be released... 4-6 months from now provided that it is only alpha, less time if it is beta.

Am I talking to walls ???

Condor I = G450
Condor II = G800

Hey Ant, didn't you post that comparing chart back then ?

Mostly walls, with a few people who listen. Of course, everything said or rumored is generally means nothing until a product gets announced and is ready to ship.

Hmm, like the G800 is going to use the same drivers as the G400. If the G800 is gonna be as cool as we all hope it is, surely the drivers will be different as well??

Maggi, did someone say something
