who has a g550 then??????

[roadie]

right there are some reviews out now so those under nda or whatever can say they have the card, right????

if this is true then we need our own independent review of the card, hopefully with some overclocked benchmarks, like Maggi's for the g450 which were excellent

Thankyou, i will be off fragging now

[Ant]

I got one this afternoon, no NDA attached to it. Tell me what you want to see tested and I'll do it if I can.

[Ant]

Oh just looked at the cover letter and it says I have it for 3 days! Seeing as I work 8:00AM to 6:00PM, will be out all evening tomorrow looks like I have this evening and Thursday evening to play with it

Congrats Ant!
Just throw it into a Linux box and hit me with all the benchmarks U can get.

Later U can always compare W2k vs Wxp vs Wmil vs W98se. Just so I can check which OS to use..

Heh. That aside:
I think U should just get it to work, mayhaps do a little cs (or DoD) and mayhaps try to run Max payne if available.

Then give me Ur thoughts about G550 vs G400MAX.

Until then,
~~DukeP~~

Let's not forget a quick oc attempt with that g550!

[IcedEarth]

If possible, please do some comparing 3D tests between the G550 and the G400/16 and G400/32 too.

Thanks.

roadie, actually many have it... just can't talk about it... yet

[roadie]

i'd like to see q3 benchies in 16+32 bit

1= g400max vs g550 stock speed
2=g400 max vs g500 highest stable speed

3dmark 2k 16+32bit

1= g400max vs g550 stock speed
2=g400 max vs g500 highest stable speed

3dmark2k1 32 bit

1= g400max vs g550 stock speed
2=g400 max vs g500 highest stable speed

all @1024*768

thankyou!

OK the board is in and running Win 2K nicely at 2048X1536@32-bit I'll compare G400MAX vs G450 vs G550 and do as many tests as I can in the 2 days I have left

[DukeP]

Sounds very nice, Ant.

Just dont forget Ur family..

~~DukeP~~

[Bohrn]

sounds great, as you can see in the Matrox Hardware forum, I may need a new card soon. Can you test Mech4 if possible? If you dont have it there is a demo. Thanx.

you sure it wasn't 8 ?

[DirtFarmer]

I'd be curious if it can handle an AGP bus running at 133/2 as well as the G400 does. Not ready to replace my BX mobo yet.

headcasting...

you could make a little "video" conference (aka headcasting) with one of the BB's and tell us about it...

Holy Shit! That's some serious acreage on the ol' desktop!

One of these days I'll be able to afford a monitor that can handle that kinda res.
