    I think we should get rid of April Fools; it causes too much chaos. Either that or it should be a holiday.

        Bump:
        Comparing to GF 7800 I was right about this year's high end GPU memory, bandwidth, number of pipes, number of vertex shaders and of course price .

          I miss having a Matrox card. It's really bad. At work I have a 6600 AGP card displaying through a DVI connector (so it's nice and crisp). Now I also have a laptop with a 6600 PCIx and a 1680x1050 screen, which is also very crisp. Then when I use my desktop computer (6800 GT) then it looks very blurry to me. The Parhelia, even on a CRT, looks excellent. Oh well, if it weren't for them taking a year to release drivers for linux, I would have kept it...

              This is totally unexpected, but on the other hand Matrox has been quiet before other major releases and they must have been working on something all this time.
              Hey, where are the cards?

                I think the announcement/screen shot were fakes. The text grammar is bad. Almost reads like chinglish, but slightly better. I don't think it's frenglish, but the grammar is still bad.

                Too bad. I'd like to see Matrox stage a comeback, at least on the order of 3Dlabs. I think we're down to just 2 majors (ATI and Nvidia) and 2-3 minors (3Dlabs, Matrox and a reincarnated S3?) in the video card/gpu market. STI bailed on the Kyro and BitBoys is a joke, but I did see a mobile GPU device demoed by BitBoys at this year's SIGGRAPH.

                Anywho, we need more choice in the GPU market. I still pray for Matrox.

                      while they do have the largest share, they do not offer any standalone cards.. which I don't think they have since the i740 back in '98

                        But it was "in the video card/gpu market" after all...

                          Yes, I forgot the integrated mobo chipset video makers (Intel, and I guess VIA and SiS still have versions of their North Bridges with on-board video). I also forgot Trident. I *think* Trident still makes GPUs for PC video cards. I was thinking more of GPUs for video card makers (or as *separate* GPU chips on mobos), not integrated video-on-mobo-chipset makers; can't use the latter on a separate video card.

                            Trident is now owned by XGI.
