If this is a production board, then it could very well be quite an interesting video-card.

There is no heatsink on the chip, so I guess there is quite some overclocking headroom on the card. If it runs at 200MHz without cooling, what would it run at with passive cooling, and even better, what speed would it run at with active cooling? 275MHz? that would mean an incredible fillate!

Thanks Youchin !!

Here's the blow-up's nicked from that site







Okay, the left connector would be the DVI, I guess. Still don't know what the I stands for (Input?)

damn, no RR-G connectors.

Sure hope the G800 has them!

I would think that it will have a heatsink. They probably left it off for promo purposes

I for Interface?

Digital Video Interface maybe, Jorden?

I believe interface is what the "I" stands for.

Good job Youchin!
Can't wait to get my hands on this one.

So what about Dual Head? I don't see a second RAMDAC chip. Does it include a cable or adapter that plugs into the DVI connector that has a built in RAMDAC for a second analog monitor? This would make sense since the DVI outputs a digital signal that would need conversion to analog before a standard CRT monitor could use the signal.

That is not a production board, the DVI version won't go into production for quite some time. As for the RR-G owners, all I can say is don't get rid of your G200 or G400!

BTW, the Samsung memory on that card is K6D623237M DDR Sgram, with maximum clock frequency of 166Mhz (so no 200Mhz here)

Nice pickup... and this goes with what Ant says about it being an early production sample...
but it is likely the G450 will run at 150/166 in my Opinion...

RAB-
Where the G400's secondary RAMDAC is built into the Maven chip, the G450 will have the Maven and second RAMDAC integrated into the main chip, giving it a higher reolution/refresh on the second head than we get now on G400.

This pic is of a DVI model. It will come with a dongle (er...breakout cable ) similar to the one with our G400s for the other needed connectors.

And no...there are no RR-G connectors on the G450

I guess we've all seen this coming.
There was even a quote from someone at matrox implying that soon we'll all probably be going to soft codecs.

My only advice is, if they eliminate the add on boards, and keep a Gx00/Gx00TV product line, that they don't castrate the TV product. That is, the G400 has 32MB, the TV has only 16.

Of course, with soft codecs, maybe all boards will come with vid in and capture...
