When the next card?

[thop]

The next card is not gonna be what the g400 was compared to the g200, but what the g550 was compared to the g400 (hint: worse )

[DirtFarmer]

Between the G200 and G400 they were hiring, between the P and the next P?? they are firing. I won't be getting my hopes up.

This thread got my attention, esp. this part:

Haig: "Keep in mind our tradition of between next gen chips."

CaineTanathos: "Was the G400 a new generation compared to the g200 or an improved version ?"

Haig: "It was a new gen."

CaineTanathos: "there was less than 1 year between them, correct ?, interesting "


The next question lead to a "no comment"...

hey... G550 was cheaper

[Michel]

between G200 and G400 there was an G250
So you got:
G200 --> G250
G400 --> G450
[S]G800[/S] --> G550 (hmmz. no strikethrough text?)
Parhelia --> Parhelia1.5

Guess this means only one thing: Parhelia1.5 will be an slower version with some unique extra feature added (headcasting? )

[Pace]

G250 wasn't really released through retail channels though - and was G550 that difference from G450?

Hopefully there might be a change of plan and Pitou will be put to the top of the queue

[Chrono_Wanderer]

me thinks 1.5 can be a fixed parhelia rev. A core logic w/ AGP 8X.

We probably won't see anything beyond DX8.5 from Matrox for a few years (probably 2 more years to go)

[The PIT]

No they're gonna get 9700 old chips from ATI and call the P Pro.

that's the card i will be getting: 9700 across 3 screen (hopefully DVI)... and i can't wait for ATI's drivers
