  • When is the next card goin' to be out?

    Just wondering when the next Matrox card is coming out so I can save up my pennies. Lol
    My "Baby": Shuttle SS51G, P4@2.26 Ghz 533 FSB, 80 GB Western Digital Caviar "Special Edition" Hard Drive 7,200 RPM w/8 MB Cache, 512 MB Corsair PC2700 with Heat Spreaders, Pioneer DVD Drive (w/sexy slot load ), and of course a Matrox Parhelia Retail Vid Card

            I would be interested by a fixed and speed enhanced P2 myself.

            The current feature set is just fine, my requirements would be:

            - Fix all current problems
            - Perfect FAA-16x (no artifacts or missed items, make it work with stencil buffers)
            - Enable at least 8x aniso
            - It should be fast enough to allow me to play current games (excluding things like Doom 3) at 1600x1200 with a good frame rate at 8x aniso and with FAA-16x activated
            - Impeccable Linux support

            Even at $500 I’m sold.

                  ditto, but it's not happening, unfortunately. If matrox ever brings out a card in which I am interested I will be surprised.

                        I don't know what to say today but...

                        seriously though... if Matrox doesn't launch any more products they will fade away and people will eventually forget it's existance...

                        problem is all the laid off going on inside matrox...

                        I would really want to see a Parhelia II, to kick out my G550...

                            Hmmm, eDRAM was usually considered very expensive.
                            look at the price of the high end xeon chips with what, 8 meg max per chip?
                            even at 0.09 it would be pretty small yield per wafer...

                            I'd love to see this be true tho, it may be possible, but i'm no microelectronics geek...
