GDC has started, but Matrox's two seminar's are not until Saturday.

And what exactly is everyone getting excited over? A hardware demonstration behind closed doors ? As far back as I can rememeber , Matrox has never released a card in March (well I only go back to G100 days so their Millenium/Marvel series cards might have been released in March but somehow I doubt it.)

[Jammrock]

The biggest reason people are excited about GDC is Ant's little post.

Basically, last year Matrox showed of displacment mapping at GDC @ ~2 fps on an 'unnamed' piece of hardware, which later became the G550. This year, Matrox is putting on another GDC presentation about displacment mapping on the last day of GDC (Saturday). The rumor is that Matrox will show off displacment mapping on another 'unnamed' piece of hardware, but this time at high frame rates. The 'unnamed' hardware is rumored to be the famed Parhelia.

So...if this rumor turns out to be truth...then MURCers will finally have something to cheer about again! Today is Wednesday @ GDC and Matrox won't demo displacment mapping until Saturday. Until that time only a select few know whether it's true or not, but they are all under NDA, so they ain't talking.

And what exactly is everyone getting excited over?

We aren't getting excited over anything. There is nothing to get excited over yet. We are, however, having fun until we can get excited over something. so on with the countdown....to E3

hmm, about a month and a half or so....

Better yet...

We can use #10 as the start of the countdown.

10. It should be announced within a month, maybe two.

If there is any accuracy to that, then we only have 2 weeks and 4 days for 1 month to pass since VigilAnt's post on March 7th. So on with the countdown again!

Only 18 days left! (gmt -8)

If we are going to be pessimistic why not go all the way... It is then 48 days until the 2 suggested months from VigilAnt is over !
