So it is a SMP sort of thing, aah? Well... then Matrox should figure out how to enable us using ATi/Nvidia cards for 3D acceleration.

Originally posted by magicianUnfortunately that's not how things work, so I really think that they should stay off 3D hardware. Last time they tried to incorporate vector and pixel shaders into a core they ended with "banding effect"â„¢ and "last year's" performance benchmark.
The banding effect was bad RAMDAC design. They somehow magically kept their shaders while killing off the banding in the 8x rev.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.

I know it had something to do with RAMDACs, but it was occurring only in 3D applications, was it?
Anyway, that wasn't my point. I believe you would understand why I decried Matrox's 3D acceleration, only if you try hard enough.

O.K. give me a brake, I was just kidding. And I wasn't referring to "the" SLI, rather to a something more like "G200 + Voodoo" combo. Maybe it would be possible through a VIP connector, which they neglected for some reason, or something like that.
Anyway... forget it.
