Don't know what this is worth:

Dual DVI + TV out, interesthing.

Could be an improvement on the triplehead; currently you can't have 2x dvi + tv-out (only 1x dvi + 1 analog + tv-out) ...

Hm, new product in summer?
Buy P8x now or wait for something that could (!) be faster, if it really comes

What do the Matrox insiders think about this?

This isn't already posted here is it?

I realy don't understand whay Matrox has begun selling P8X cards, and still not announced them

[Nappe1]

take it as grain of salt.
IMHO it's collection of rumours and guesses written on several boards by individuals. (a sort of info that at least partially it will be prooven right, because it has hints to so many directions.)


so, IMHO (again ), it does not bring anything new to the table, that could be said "pretty sure".

We'll se!

Haig said that Matrox will come with something this summer, I'll check it out if it's faster than P8X...

If it's not then a GeForce 6800 looks like a very good chip from nVidia, refferance board has dual-dvi to. ATi is not an option for me

Dual DVi + tv out was something the parhelia was going to do originally anyway. just didnt connect it up afaik.

Not exactly

This thread is a mix of the 8x card and the reference to "summer"

Summer is P8X in PCI-Express form, yawn

[UtwigMU]

Summer will be something else per Haig, as per Kruzin's hints it's going to be a marvel.

Considering that QID pro sports PCI Express compatibility: Could be that there's a new core with native PCI Express support but since AGP8x (which is also most likely on QID pro) core is on Med cards since December 2001, this is unlikely as there will be AGP, PCI 64/PCI-X and PCIe market overlap and Matrox has too small marketshare for native core support to be viable (even nVidia opted for bridge solution). So I think Matrox will go with AGP->PCIe bridge as well.

[Fluff]

A new matrox version of an all in wonder would fit the bill very nicely.

In Summer it is normally hot, but i doubt there would ever be a MAX showing up again.

Haig already indirectly confirmed that it won't be anything for gamers (they should get P8x instead). It's a shame really

[gangster]

and nothing else this year either...

[Marshmallowman]

P-Marvel with HD tv support?
