It mentions 3D king in the "first half 2002".
Do you think it is real or just another G800 thing?

Thanks Tyung
Sort of makes sense.

A G550 with 4 Pipelines, 128 bit DDR and Render Subject Nude(tm) in may

My Radeon SDR is going back now (really glad I bought it at a place with 8 days full refund), I think my Kyro will suffice until then

ok, this stuff isn't just some rumours... pay attention to it

[CHHAS]

Judging from the 'falling just behind a GTS' part the clock speed should be around 166-200 MHz, which would give the card a fill rate of 666-800 Mtexels.
A G400 has 250 Mtexels, G400Max 300 Mtexels.
This card will be very fast compared to our G400's.

Rumours? What do you mean - have there been any rumours around?

'and be available within the next few weeks, 'end of May at the latest'

If i understand, we would able to BUY this card in the beginning of june. Right ?

I need an answer (please) because one of my matrox died last week (dear g200, RIP) and someone will sell me his g400max this week-end.

It looks like Matrox wants release chip and card at the same time. maybe they also try get those cards out ASAP after release ( means that they aren't doing same mistake as with G400Max which had huge delays in delivery.)

maybe they have those boards in production already... or behaps not... who knows...

if you look at the RT2500 announcement and introduction, it could be a good omen for matrox graphics cards as well

[rubank]

There is definitely something fishy here, the G450eTV sells for $230
and now they say that the new G550 will include eTV and sell for $150-200?

Nah, it´s a turkey.

they talk about eDual-head, not eTV, if i'm not wrong

[Indiana]

Yeah, we had this Gxxx is coming in *insert next two or three months from now on* since over a year now....
BTW, rumor has it that the new Matrox card will be called G550 and not G800 since there are trademark issues with the "G800" name (there's already a monitor model and the roland synthesizer with this name) and not because M thinks it's not as powerfull as a "G800" should be.
