[RANT] Enough about the G800

[AJ]

Sorry that your tired of hearing about the G800 (some of us are just tired of _waiting_!).

I think that we should be able post about next gen Matrox cards here, even though it's just speculation (damn I thought they were going to show something at Comdex!). I wouldn't mind it if there were a Future Products board though.

i just wish they'd tell us what we can expect, instead of absolute denial.

Everyone is becoming crazy because Matrox is lagging behind, and it´s true, we have to admit it... the only way would be to start selling G800´s in the next two months. The way things are going, Matrox will lose its competitive edge in the 3D gaming community. This means money. I really find this strange, Matrox abandoning (or so it seems) the market like this. I hope they have a bunny (with G800 written all over it) inside the wizard´s hat.
This doesn´t shake me very much, though. I consider Matrox the coolest brand in the market, and I could have a GTS in my system, but I prefer the G400 out of coolness (and picture) . I´ll stick with Matrox anyways.

Those who are abandoning the ship like rats are: "oh, I couldn´t take the slowness of my games any longer (50 fps ), forgive me for I have sinned, I bought a Geforce. The G800 will never come out!!!...."
I´ve seen a couple of these...


As for you, kewlcat:

RELAX! It´s just natural that people vent out this stuff... most of these things are a joke! My "G800 annouced!!!" thread was a way to play with this, for example. I agree with Helevitia.

More speculations on an unconfirmed product.

Facts:
* DirectX8 is released.
* Fresh gossip from MURC: "...G800 will feature some of special techniques that we could haven't faced before. [...] The technique is from a certain 3rd Party"
* Bitboys just released a new webpage design (http://www.bitboys.fi), but still no product release.

Is the (soon-to-be-released) G800 going to feature Bitboys' XBA?

By your own addmission in your title for this thread, this is a rant. It has nothing to do with Matrox Hardware, just your opinion on other people's opinions/speculations.
