New Parhelia UT2k3 Surround Gaming screenshot

[TdB]

the hud could use an upper left border(where the zero is), it is probably only visible in surround gaming.

apart from that: impressive!

sweet lamas of the bahamas!

[TdB]

on second thought, the hud won´t be a problem, because thats where the border between the middle and the left monitor will be.

p.s.
I still think its incredible that parhelia can pull playable framerates in that resolution, that is a HUGE resolution.

I think most disbelievers is going to be suprised when the benchmarks appears.

Think about it

do you think there is a maximum resolution for 16xfaa?
unlike normal fsaa, it doesn´t require much extra memory.

If any Matrox employees happen to be browsing this thread, it would be really _nice_ ....If you could grab some Antialiasing screenshots over the next couple of days.

I think a lot of people would like to see how good it will look with games, as opposed to some of the screenshots found on Matrox's launch PFD's/etc.

I just bought a 17.4" LCD. My wife would shit if I spend about $2000 on a new card and two new LCD's.

I'll have to figure a way to modify the desk so I can buy some cheap 17" tube monitors to use for the sides.

I played UT all the time when it came out and still like to play sometimes (I still suck at it though and get my ass kicked everytime I go online) and I really want UT2003.

Wow!
I'm looking forward to some SOF II screenshots!

Does anyone remember the very cool screenshots put out by Matrox when the G200 was announced?

I recall seeing a screenshot of a car race game and there were realistic looking shadows and haze, and gorgeous details of things such as furniture visible in the windows of office buildings far in the background. I bought the G200 about one month after it was out and didn't find any game that had such a level of detail. Sure, it was better than my previous Rendition V2100 based card, and my M3D before that, but it certainly didn't live up to the expectations I had based on the Matrox marketing screenshots.

I had a similar experience after buying the G400. The tech demo of the pixie flying around bump mapped logs and water surfaces was fine, but that level of detail never materialized in one game I played.

I am reserving my 'wow' for something tangible.

I'm sure things like framerates and AA and many other features will be great, but history tells us the tech demos and screenshots do not necessarily illustrate what you can actually expect to see in a game.

For one thing, typically, the screen shot is carefully selected to show the best view that could potentially occur, but perhaps a level of realism that is only provided in 10% of the general gaming experience. I've flown enough flight simulators and compared with their screenshots to perceive this tendancy. I think this was also true of things like the Expendible screenshots that surfaced here when the G400 was announced. The actual game wasn't that gorgeous to play - at least not in the demo I used.
