Montreal, Canada, February 12, 2002 Matrox Graphics Inc. today announced the new performance king - Millennium G800 second generation QH (Quad Head) graphics card.
The industry's first graphics card with Quad-DVI output from a single chip, full DirectX 9 and OpenGL1.3 implementation, the Millennium G800 QH is a future-proof graphics solution for the PC / Mac platform.
Users in the most demanding computing environments everywhere will be overwhelmed by the powerful, super charged acceleration of the industry's only 1-Kb QuadBus architecture implementing support for AGP 8X and AGP Pro and 512KB of embedded RAM. In addition to a 512-bit interface to memory and support for a maximum of 512MB of double data rate synchronous memory, the Matrox G800 uses a completely new 3D Rendering Processor and T&L unit built from the ground up to accelerate the most demanding applications in existence. Fully DirectX 9 and OpenGL 1.3 compliant, the Matrox G800 is an extremely powerful 3D rendering engine supporting almost every known 3D feature.
About the new Matrox G800 graphics chip
Superior Performance
Building on the revolutionary design of the 256-bit DualBus of the MGA-G400, Matrox extends the Matrox G800 to a full 1-Kb QuadBus to deliver four times the throughput rate of traditional 256-bit architectures. The new 1-Kb QuadBus design implements four independent 256-bit buses operating in parallel inside the Matrox G800. To complement this devastatingly fast 1-Kb QuadBus and create a superior performance design, the Matrox G800 also employs a full 512-bit interface to memory. Two more important features are the ability for up to 16 MGA-G800 chips to work in parallel, which will allow creating double and quad chip solutions using standard AGP-Pro slots and a huge on chip embedded RAM of 512KB. With the advent of a true 512-bit bus to memory coupled with the 1-Kb QuadBus and a huge e-RAM, the Matrox G800 eclipses all other solutions by shattering all barriers to pure accelerated 3D rendering bliss.
With the company's new 3D Rendering Processor, the Matrox G800 achieves up to 20 times the 3D rendering performance of the award-winning MGA-G400 in real applications at high resolution. The setup engines in the Matrox G800 are capable of drawing over 80 million triangles/second and full native support for DirectX 9 and OpenGL 1.3.
Availability
The Matrox G800 chip has been sampling to OEMs and other industry partners since Q1 02. Products based on the Matrox G800 chip will be available to end users in Q3 02.
