Are we EVER going to see another high-end card from Matrox?

Source Dogbert?

[Tempest]

I think this was Dogbert's idea of a joke. Wasn't the Cirrus Logic 5446 popular back in the days when the Millennium ruled the earth (ca. 1995)..?

[KeiFront]

LOL I do remember I even owned one in the 486 age.

I still got a GD 5480

[rubank]

I still own a CL 5446 !!

God, how I´m happy about that

[Maggi]

LMAO

Nice shot, Dogbert !!!

... looks so authentical ...

[Dogbert]

Maggi !!!

Long time no see

Thanks, I just altered a real news item about Matrox not going to Cebit...

[PAugustin]

DOH !

[[GDI]Raptor]

Dont spread this news on the web........

Very funny piece of work Dogbert.

I guess every user needing dual-head would be lucky enough to get 2 CL5446's, strapped to a couple of 14" NEC monitors (1024x768, interlaced) purchased on e-bay and they're ready for some dual-head lovin'.

The dual-head on my millenium is rooted so I"ve found an S3 Virge 4Mb to quench my dual-head cravings..

Using liquid nitrogen cooling he is currently able to reach clock speeds excelling 3,5 GHz...

When I was scanning his site I couldn't help but wonder what he could do to AMD CPU's, would be interesting. They wouldn't OC aswell but it would still be interesting.

You can try asking that from another Japanese fellow, ja0hxv: http://ja0hxv.calico.jp/pai/exp8k7ah5.html
If I remember correctly the XP 2000+ is actually running at 1667 MHz, which makes the result 1667@2312. Don't compare the PiFast times with those found on my previously posted Finnish overclocking link though, they use different settings as well as a different version of PiFast.

Someone crossed the 3.7 Ghz boundary.

are these crazy overclocks only possible in a short timespan, or do somebody actually use their computer with these settings?

it is my impression, that these overclockers do it as a hobby/sport, and that they can´t archieve a high overclock, that can run anything else than a benchmark for 5 minutes without crashing.

what is the highest STABLE overclock, that can actually be used???

[Wombat]

It's just sport. Some of those guys show their processor temp, and it's at -20C or lower. Neither practical nor sustainable.
