    Check This Out

    http://216.12.218.25/domain/www.beyond3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=612&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=






    i think this is a fake. the "unified drivers" doesn´t fit with Haigs hints.

    simply too good to be true:
    high speed deferred renderer, 128 bit colors, 2mb cache(edram?),
    twice as fast as everything else, mac support, etc...

    it would be technological possible(i think), but this is WAY more than i would expect.

    afaik, it is a fake.

    those specs are... umm... how I would say this... they differ too much from the things that I have heard...

    I already commented this at Beyond3D's G1000 thread, so some of you might want to check it out...

      If they wanted it to atleast seem real, maybe they should have used another name. From the things I've read it probably won't start with a "G".

      Edit: Matrox never give out clock frequencies...

        April fools.

        G1000, it isn't the first time I heard this name:

        And Novdid has a point
        Matrox never give out clock frequencies

            It's got to be fake there are too many half truths in there.

                  Cheap imitations huh?

                  You did say "cheap"?

                  Cheap as in there's something better coming SoonTM.......

                  (too bad there are no smilies to represent "going nuts")

                  I guess we still must wait. If it's that good then I can wait.

                    I think it's a fake too

                    What gave me a clue is the "Support for 64, 96 and 128 bits colors rendering. At GDC this year, there was talk of using 40-bits colors in DX9, and nobody thinks 64-bits colors will be used before DirectX10 or later... Also, 16-samples AA and Quad RamDACs... TetraHead(Tm) would be cool, although pretty useless for %98 of the users... If there was to be a professional card with fout outputs, Im pretty sure it would use two chips. ALso, it would be a waste to have %99 of the Parhelia chips produced waste 3 or 2 of their outputs...

                    Yet, the rest looks very believable, like the Eight pixel pipelines, three texels per pixel pipe per clock (Just like ATI's upcoming R300) and embedded memory (although I think it would be a kind of DRAM, not cache, and that it would be a bit bigger, say 4-10 MB) shows us it's bases on rumors that have been going on for a while.

                    Even so, I would not mind having a G1000

                      but then you wouldn´t afford the upgrade to the REAL parhelia.

                      i wonder if parhelia would be TWICE as fast as everything else, that would really crush the competition, i mean it´s (rumored) bandwidth is (almost) twice the GF4.

                        Even if the rumored bandwith specs are true about it,they may only apply to the high end model,not the one(s) matrox have to sell at 400$,so that most people can afford them as well as competing with both ATI and Nvidia....


                        Like i said on another thread,the only reason other card makers haven't implemented a 256 bit bus has mostly to do with costs associated with it,otherwise we would have seen them by now...
                        note to self...

                        Assumption is the mother of all f***ups....

                          BUT, that is a damn fine fake.
                          first thing you did after seeing that is go staright to matrox.....
                          couple of hours later and it would have been the best april fools joke

                          good work

                            No. The first thing I did was laugh and shake my head. Then I went back to munching on my Danish.
