  • What Aces Hardware said before they got Busted!

    Lucky for you guys, I pulled off what Aces Hardware said before Matrox police got to them.


    atrox

    At the Matrox booth, I met with Marije Stijnen. Although she told me
    quite a
    few things, but I can not tell you much about Matrox next generation
    because I
    had to sign a NDA before leaving the booth. All I can say is that the
    G450 will
    be an excellent videocard, but not the favorite of hardcore gamers.

    Interesting was Matroxs view on T&L: DirectX 7 only support T&L
    acceleration for static objects, not in moving objects. Therefore Matrox

    feels that there is no real need to launch a T&L accelerated videocard
    before
    DirectX 8.0 comes out (July- August 2000). Acceptable, but Dagoth More
    Zoological proves that by T&L acceleration is interesting even if
    DirectX 7.0
    does not fully support it. After all, if the videocard takes care of the
    geometry
    for static objects, the moving objects can use more polygons because the

    CPU has been relieved of at least some of the geometry calculations.

    Matrox will not leave the High end gamers market: the G800 (Name not
    confirmed by Matrox) is scheduled for a release at the same time when
    DirectX8 is lanched.

        Now, that's a truly MURC-erly thing to do, Zyn!!! Thanks!!

        I can see why Matrox wouldn't want such views published though... easy for the slackjawed Nvidia fps addicts to take it very much the wrong way, costing later sales...(and please don't be offended, anyone who owns a GeForce as well as their Matrox card; I'm referring to the very common Nvidia user we see here, who usually has a peculiar combination of lots of disposable income, a huge, bloated ego, and a profound void of ignorance. Such people usually don't think things out, thus never understand that Matrox designs for people who <u>do</u>.)

              Thanx for the responses fellas, Remember that I pulled this from www.3dchipset.com they have a great video card news over there... gotta split. The matrox police came to my house and I told them to go to hell, I mean, I bought their products, heaven forbid we buy their products.
