New Card..

[Tom]

Whooohooo!

Hmmm.....time for a new sig......

[Mad Maxtrox]

New rig idea!
Either Pentium 2.4G or a new Athlon Tbred 2400+
512 Megs Ram and 120G 7200rpm Drive
AT LEAST 2 21/22" Flat CRT High Res Monitors

P will make the sun visable, the new rig will provide the heat!


Gear towards Mid summer to roll out new system

oooh it's been so long...

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this card will finally be able to compete with the likes of a Geforce 2 or maybe 3 mx card.
The NV 30 will still steal the show. I used to be a huge Matrox fan like all of you seem to be, but almost 3 years later I guess I'm all grown up, I barely even load 3D apps or games much anymore

I'm gonna go out on a limb as well as say this card will have faster 3d graphics than the Geforce 6. Each of it's dual onboard cpu's (see below) will outperform Intel's Itanium II. It will have a built-in cooler and will be able to magically produce beer.

No...you see, if you had grown up, you would have never given up on Matrox to start with.
You say you barely even use 3D? So why would a GeForce card turn your crank? It's common knowledge that the Matrox G series cards rule the desktop. Someone grown up would know that, and not waste their money on a pure gaming card.

Beer!?!?? OMG OMG OMG!!! MUST HAVE!!

If they are able to fix this bug, maybe.

According to the poster if you turn on anisotropic filtering the second TMU turns off, disabling multitexturing :-p

And even if they are able to build a slightly faster card, can't tell the difference much between 200fps and 225fps anyway, I'd be willing to bet that they have rasied the bar again, on image quality and features, so high that it's going to take the competition 2-3 years to get even close again.
