  • Anyone want to march on Matrox HQ?

    Thats pretty much how I feel at the moment. Months of waiting, rumors upon rumors, rampint speculation, and non a single fu'ing peep from Matrox except that little thing on the murc main page in russian where they pretty much said 'wait until summer'. I guess that fits into the 'soon' category.. yeah, sure.
    And to be honest, I don't think that card is even the 'one' that we are all waiting for.. its probably going to be a little step up from the G450 card, and the big Gxxx will be released next year. Either way.. a summe release means sales start around Aug/Sept, with little availability for the first several months (remember the MAX? ).. so by christmas you _may_ have a shot of getting one.. but oops, it'll probably be out dated by then since the damned thing was already delayed and they missed the optimal release window.

    Its so damned furstrating.. I have this G400MAX that I love, but the thing is really stretched to the point where its getting iffy for some of the games I want to play. Pretty much if I want a new game now, I have to run it in 800x600 with lower detail settings just to get a semi-smooth framerate (25-30fps). And thats on a GHz system too... argh.

    I think a lot of people are sick of waiting for what is nothing at the moment. I really hope that KyroII card is as sweet as it sounds.


    there, I feel better for now, since I bitched and moaned for a bit.

      I'm also hanging on to my Max ($300 of videocard is still alot of money just to put it in a secondary system), but I have to agree with Rylan that Matrox is losing credibility.
      I just read the other day that Matrox wants to switch to the professional market (with professional prices), leaving the SOHO market with nothing. (ok; nVidia, but that's still nothing )
      It's not good to make it a race; that often results in a poorly desigend videocard and into a crashing systems and such. But these past months (years actually, if you ignore the G450 inbetweener) of waiting and fake rumours have made me a little cranky.
      Also hearing that Matrox doesn't come up with something at CeBIT isn't a very big help to this issue either.

      Come on Matrox! We're here!

        Too far to walk would get my feet wet.
        At the moment my system upgrades are concerning my 2nd computer and replacing the k6 550 system. So a new Gxxx card is out of the equation at the moment.

          I'd march if i thought it'd help.

          4 the time Bn I intend 2 stay with my MAX.
          But STMicro's chip seems more & more atractive, i wonder how its drivers R?

          Any way even if i'll move 2 KyroII in the future, i intend 2 jump back 2 Matrox as soon as TCFKAG will B available.

            Did anyone else find the above post annoyingly difficult to read? I mean come on....It must take longer to figure out where to put your 2s and Bs than to just write the damn word.

                English isnĀ“t my native language either and I donĀ“t type like that. I agree with Patrick, itĀ“s unconfortable to read.

                Feel at ease to type like that, just donĀ“t start wondering if nobody cares to answer your posts...

                          English is my native language and my spelling is appalling but that was not what I was getting at. Besides you seemed to do well enough with the sentence above.

                          Perhaps, but your post does not conjure up an 'old man' in my mind:
