What is real and what is false?

Yes, but is that fast enought to render 2 subjects nude at once

You mean Matrox's days.
MURC will live on!!!!!!

I remember somone saying this every year since joining the MURC back in...let's see now....98? But somehow, every year, we retain most of the people BTW, back in 98, it was about the OGL drivers for the G200 for which I said I would buy another video card too if they didn't come out with the drivers soon, lol! Here I am, 5 years later, still waiting

yeah but at least when you were waiting for drivers you had some hardware.

Ahh, but I still do have hardware, it's just not a Matrox card. But you know what, I'm still waiting

MURC's been going for 7 long years, ain't no stopping us baby!

We've done the important work already!

The way the workforce is divided in most companies today,

meaning having a few underpaid nerseen or heard from ghosts producing the product (R&D, production and quality control),
while everyone else get's the glory & money selling it to the customers

So we've done most of the work is already!

We already got a box, a card, specs, and EVEN some press releases, altough they are all fake .

Now we can establish a fake company, (board of directors maybee ant and who else?)

Producing the fake card is just a minor detail that can be easily solved

How hard can it be to just solder a Radeon/Geforce (3D calculation power) back to back to an G450-PCI (66MHz version!) and add the necessary connections.

Only adding RDRAM for improved performance should be hard

There you have it:

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.

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 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

Now we only need some fake reviews, and some fake benchmarks!

Ahh! forgot the fake announcement

[Novdid]

Can somebody hack Matrox's website and put Dogberts announcement on the frontpage???

[MetalCartman]

Hehe...

*lol*

Let's not get feisty now.

[TdB]

maybe some fake screenshots from the fake techdemo, will cheer people up

now what would really impress everybody...

can somebody make a screenshot?

Only meant as a joke. That goes to all the hackers actually thinking about doing this.

To late

Only joking.

We could make some fake screenshots of the RSN feature but this would be inappropriate
