Confirmed by Matrox Support: 5.41 powerdesk IS NOT DX7 optimized drivers

[jediphoenix]

Here is the response I got from a friend in Matrox Tech support to my question of whether or not the 5.41 drivers were the elusive DX7 drivers:

No such animal for the current drivers.

We are working on DX7 optimizations for a future driver (minus the T&L rumours) but don't know which PD version that will be.

Unfortunatly I asked him how long we would have to wait and he said that it might be quite a while

Just in time for the release of DX8 if we are lucky..

Buuri you are to optimistic.

[Kruzin]

The BBs are testing early versions of these drivers (5.5x).
They are coming along nicely, but definatly not ready for public consumption yet...
(and plz don't ask for benchmarks or release dates...you know we can't do that )

Will there be a performance gain in, let's say, UT (A directX7 game)? Will that be 1%, 10% or 50%?
