what YOU think the g800 specs should/will be

[az]

Into some dark pit?

[Tempest]

Nah, Satan was mutilated and released as a low-cost solution that did not sell quite as well as expected.

[KeiFront]

Nah, the G666 will be released next month I hope it's not an improved G550 .

[The PIT]

The G666 with Arsecasting the brand new way to send your boss a moonie.

Also emcompassing 128mb of qdr ram on a 32bit bus to reduce memory performance further.

[roadie]

wow a whole year since i started this thread, and still no new card...seems this thread was raped and killed now its been brought up for seconds

[prkl]

Could Satan confirm if Big-M's next generation will be hellofacard?

About two years old statement: http://www.jpa.com/articles/specials...ion2000-16.htm

Its been a while eh? Well, at least our burly G400 max cards have stood the test of time. Sure, they aren't fast vs the state of the art competition, but I never imagined my G400 max would still be fairly useable after 2 years!

But where is the G800 we all wanted........??

Oh well. If Matrox does ever bring out another card based on a chipset that is todays equivalent of the G400 max of yesterday, then I'm interested. No more of this ridiculous head-casting crap and enough with G200 made to run a million monitors!! Just give us our Dual-head 2D/3D card that whoops the competition and comes in a Marvel version too, and don't forget the matching Rainbow runner, or why not this time make the Marvel the equal of the non-marvel card in 3D??

Anyways.........They have to bring out something someday, don't they? Come on Matrox, get back in the 3D race and whoop some butt!

[Sasq]

While I do beleive that soon* we will see a wonderful new 2d/3d card from Matrox, but personally I'd say forget the possability of seeing it in a marvel/RRG version. While M have been reasonably quite on the next product, there have been definite noises that we will not see and video capture hardware in the low end anymore.

* soon is a trade mark of Matrox which has a meaning of sometime this century

[ccoltas]

Sometime this century ain't too promising when you're just barely into THIS century, eh? Bummer.

Well, as long as they make something compatable with their G400 rainbow runner. That'd be good enough I guess. Although, as long as they keep selling Marvels or eTV's, I guess thats fine too.

Unfortunately, I believe that Matrox has already said that they will be doing neither.

[ccoltas]

Great, so instead of killer hardware from Matrox with equally killer drivers, I'm left choosing from ok to very good hardware from ATi with stupid drivers or I guess the other manufacturers.

I want the equivalent of what I have now, a 2D/3D card with DVD acceleration and Dual-head and maybe video editing.

Well, since Matrox has left me out in the cold, what are my options come upgrade time?

[Sasq]

ccoltas, I think you'll get all of your wishes except the video editing, and for getting the video into you system there are a lot more options avaliable these days

[ccoltas]

Hey Sasq. Any opportunities for a Canadian to teach English over there right now?

[[GDI]Raptor]

I belive Matrox will release a new card.... this Millennium

All i ask for is a good 2D card, with good DVD playback, good 3D quality and GF3 preformance

Comeon Matrox!! Give us a nV killer card!

[Sasq]

ccoltas, yup PM me if your seriously interested and I'll give you a list of places to start
