Today, something else than from Matrox is coming...

[frankymail]

Today, ATI is supposed tp announce it's Radeon 2... a slightly-faster-than-GeForce-3 with enhanced HydraVision and nearly-as-good-as-Matrox' picture quality... let's wait and see if this new prophet is in fact the messiah...

Yeah, its quite apparent that Matrox isn't going to release a card with even half-decent 3d capabilities any time soon, so that leaves as options ATI or.. hmm.. ATI (I don't consider *Vidia an option).

Oh, and I forgot: MAXX support

I wonder if 2x the 3D performance of the GeForce 3 with better visuals and far superior 2D quality at high-resolution is enough for me...

I'll believe that when I see it.

anyway , since MAXX cards in win2k only use 1 chip , big pile of poopoo

VE asked ATI's representative about the MAXX issue in WinDozes 2k and he said that this issue will not be in any future cards.

About the 3D speed: a MAXX was almost 2 times faster than a Rage 128 Pro... so a Radeon 2 MAXX should be about 2x faster than a single Radeon 2... don'T forget that the memory bandwidth DOUBLES...

'Bout the 2D quality, even if Matrox' is better, the Radeon is SO much better than a G2 or G3 at high resolution (first-hand experience here...) so I expect that the Radeon 2's 2D output should be at least as good or slightly better than the Radeon's.
