  • events on matrox website

    On the events calendar on the Matrox website

    both the

    Game Developers Conference
    San Jose, California
    March 19-23, 2002

    and the

    E3
    L.A. California
    May 22-24, 2002

    are mentioned.

    Yet on the sites of GDC, in the exhibitors list (http://www.gdconf.com/expo/exhibitorlist/index.htm ), I can't find Matrox. For the E3, it is exactly the same (http://www.e3expo.com/current_exhibi...cfm?search=M-P ).

    So will they be attending these events ? Or do they have speakers there (which minimises the chances of M releasing something ...)

    As far as i know, Matrox is attending both tradeshows

            There is a test on Anandtech of a special Unreal 2 demo. It seems that the current crop of graphics cards will have a hard time running this beast at high resolutions. If I am going to pay a hefty amount of money for my next gen card then it is gonna have to leave the current ones standing. It could well be that even that the GF4 and R300 may not be fast enough for the games that are in development.

              The Unreal Performance Test 2002 (UPT) has nothing to do with any of the games using our engine and should not be used to draw conclusions about game performance. I’ll contact Anand and make sure he knows to highlight this. The benchmark is designed specifically to push the latest and greatest graphics cards as hard as we can. UPT is about the future, not the present. All of this will become clearer over the next few months. We will also be adding more features and content to UPT2002 to push things even harder. "Influence, Educate and Improve" will be our motto for the Unreal Performance Test. A lot of cool things are planned. In popular game development lingo what you're seeing now are some preliminary results from what equates to an early alpha version. Stay tuned!

              Afterthought: I guess I shouldn't say "as hard as we can" because I'm sure we could push things even harder if we weren't so busy making our game. The Unreal Engine is no longer CPU bound so if you want to make a game that pushes the absolute upper limits of xxx [i.e. insert the name of some imaginary future card that has massively higher fillrate and poly throughput and might be announced the week after next] you certainly could but then, of course, nothing earlier than that could run it. This test is very much about making something to test today's high end cards and the cards of the future. Putting the lower-end cards in the test wasn't really fair because the content wasn't designed to support those levels of performance. Certainly the games using the engine this year wouldn't want to be so aggressive with the content and detail settings. To borrow a phrase from Spinal Tap, the UPT detail settings are set at "11". Unreal2 and Unreal Tournament 2, for example, certainly won't be set at "11" because we want EVERYONE to be able to enjoy them. I suppose Unreal Championship could be dialed up to "11" because it's on Xbox, maybe even "11.5".

              One more thing (this will be corrected in the article shortly): Dan Vogel said the flyby had “as many as 100,000 triangles.” – to clarify that it should say as many as “100,000 triangles in view.” There are certainly a LOT more than 100,000 triangles in the demo.

              Anandtech rocks!

                  Yeah, very verbosely... It says "Matrox"

                  Nothing fancy like "Matrox Graphics"... But the GDC is listed on Matrox Graphics' events calendar, and I don't think other Matrox departments would be interested in gaming (then again, I didn't think even the Graphics department would be interested in that with their current hardware - although they have that cute Matrox Gaming Club thingy )

                  Let's just hope that we'll see more than the G550 running a flight simulator using DualHead at 8 frames per second... If they have some nifty hardware to be released they could be demonstrating and discussing it behind closed doors, of course.

                      Like http://www.gdconf.com/expo/exhibitor...boothcrawl.pdf ?
                      If there is a booth map somewhere on the GDC site, I failed to find it... Matrox' booth is ES-315, dunno what that means but there are not so many exhibitors with "ES"-kind of booth codes..? Must not be that bad, with companies like the MS X-box, AMD and Sega...

                              The timing would certainly be right for a top notch vid card especially after the release of cards named gf4, how creative, eh?
