Shall we ask them the same stuff as last time? It seems as if we are all probably awaiting the G800 still

Ok, how's about this:

1. The G450 offered good gains in business and home user productivity, and the G550 too with it's somewhat revolutionary HeadCasting technology. You've also developed eDualHead for this sector too, covering the G4x0 and G550 series of cards. Do Matrox plan to target their developments on this area, or also try and show gamers what they've been missing in this area, who've had to make do with the GeForce series of cards?

Amish...
How is the lawsuit against nVidia progressing??
LOL

"Why bother even releasing a new card? It seems as though they could have taken the G450 and added all that 3D head crap to it. They would have named that G450 Special 3D Head edition and be done with it."

heheh

Nows my chance!

2)What is Matrox's consideration of the CAD market, specifically video cards like the Quadro2 based Elsa Gloria III. Is it in the scope of Matrox's business to consider marketing a card that is like the Quadro2: decent(ability to play games at 1280x1024x32bit w/ max settings and get 60-70fps) performance when it comes to games(engineers play games too ya know!), stellar 3d modelling performance(specialized drivers for Pro Engineer and AutoCAD?), and muliprocessor SUPPORT. add Matrox's spectacular driver features, dualhead, and their unargueable 2D image clarity superiority. I think we have a winner. This can still be OEM since companies such as DELL sell dual CPU graphics work stations. gateway used to(used a matrox card too.).


hehe. im actually in the market for such a card since my G400Max chokes on just about everything except winamp.

3)what does Matrox see as the wave of the future of video cards for users? BESIDES headcasting.

4)whats Matrox got up its sleeves?

5)was the G550 planned when the G400 was announced and/or released?

BTW
The Systemlogic preview doesnt seem too bad. Has any checked it out?

Maybe ask them if they plan to release a card that's suited for people who want the best 2D AND play games - and NO, the G450 ISN'T up to the task

What´s their take on the price of bananas.


Seriously, what would be the point? We already know the answers - a mix of "soon" and "no comment".

1) is the g550 inteded for mobile purposes as well (most businesses have high speed access, so headcasting would be good for mobile PC with 56K modems)

2) will there be another card annouced this year?

3) will this card be the g800??

4) how fast will it be???

5) what new features will it have????

6) specs (ram, clock rates, new dualhead features, new headcasting features )?????

7) when will it be announced??????

8) when will it be produced???????

9) when will it be shipped????????

10) when will it be available?????????

11) does it exist??????????

1) Any plans to use technologies such as tile-based rendering or HSR?

2) What happened to the lawsuit between nVidia and Matrox?

3) Can I get a Matrox shirt?
