Another guessing about fusion cards.....

[NocturnDragon]

Hi guys!
I was reading the other post about Fusion cards and i wondered...

"What if the 'Fusion' wasn't about 2 video cards (a board with 2 chips) or the dualhead thing, but it was a fusion between a video and a audio card?"

If i'm not wrong NVidia is going to build a audio chip for the x-box and maybe they will show with a new video card with an audio board built in it....

Maybe Matrox is going to do it too!
Anyway this is just a guessing that was in my mind...
Maybe what i've written is just a big nonsense

That would be dumb an audio chip built on to a video card, it would be no where as good as soundblaster. That's like Creativelabs making a soundcard with video on board that would be dumb too. I certainly wouldn't buy a combo like that.

But I think fusion and non fusion will be similiar to like g400 and g400max, one will run faster than the other but both cards will have all the same features.

Fusion like some people said it means combining. Well fusion can mean speed as well. Like a fusion drive taken from science fiction is a very fast propelsion system. Or a fusion powered eccelerator. Fusion powered anything means fast or can last for 100's of years. Most likely I won't have the cash to buy a fusion card and i'll go with the regular.

Galvin,
If you look at the word "fusion" in all those examples you gave, ALL consist of the mergence of two "things"

My brother just bought a Marvel g400 2 days ago. I think he's happy (need to call to confirm). I am myself waiting for the g400-tv or something like that (or fusion :-)).

I don't believe that's it.

Rags, you must enjoy watching us guess what the g800 fusion is, yes you know already and it must be fun to watch us guess and guess, hey if it gives you entertainment then that's a good thing I guess

Anyways when will matrox announce their next video card ?

C'mon guys...all Matrox did was buy up a bunch of V2 chipsets from 3dfx (they have a surplus, seeing as the 5500 is 8 V2s on the same board...and noone can offord one) and packaged them on the same PCB as a G400. Comes bundled with UT as well

Sheesh. What did you think it was...SLI'd G400s?
