MATROX 我想應該是在暑假就會發表新的產品吧 , 而名稱可能是G800 OR G1K 但是
其新產品的只有GeFORCE mx400 / geforce2 pro/ geforce 2 gts 的話 那就令人有點失望了 因為我想至少也要是 RADEON 8500等級的產品吧 整合TUNNER TV OUT MOVICE EDITER (AUX IN (V8 DV CAM 等等)) 編輯後的檔案可以做VCD SVCD MPEGII的輸出等等 這樣才是真正的王者風範 而Matrox Mystique 220是我第一次真正自己使用到的Matrox卡, 在當時3DFX的VOODOO正橫掃了整個3d遊戲市場 也正是將遊戲真正全面進入3D支援的硬體公司 而當時MYSTIQUE 220 的2D輸出 真的讓我激賞不已 但是 3D就只能勉強RUN RUN 雖然MARTROX 後來有出POWER VR 的子卡 但是效率依然是不佳 一年後新的Millennium G200出來了 果然使MATROX一雪前恥 而當時所的單卡雙螢幕輸出 更是無人能敵 MTATROX也因G200成功 再又隔了一年發行了G400 同時也依市場性質發行不同版本的G400 而此時的顯示卡市場因為已經有多家廠商的加入參戰 使的MATROX因為價 格上的因素 再加上大部分的USER也因MATROX的產品除2D功能的優勢外 G400MAX後的產品幾乎銷售成績維持平平 而逐漸的退出3D遊戲市場 而轉向商業用途由G450及G550就能很明顯看出 而我從Millennium II到MYSTIQUE 220 再到G200最後現在的G400MAX 我依然是使用MATROX 因為以前還是學生時 要畫電路圖 ORCAD PROTAL 等等 在螢幕前的時間是蠻長的 而MATROX的2D輸出讓當同學們說螢幕看久了眼睛會酸 而我說不會啊 而來用過我的電腦的人也真的無話可說 當然螢幕也是很大的因素之一 (我是用PHILIPS) 但是正如上面那位MISS所言 MATROX若是Matrox能信守上述原文裡的承諾,能推出一個2D/3D超強的產品的話,我想我的下一張卡也絕對是Matrox Millennium跑不掉了

Scoop 2: Solid G550 news
by Rich "Forge" Mingin - 03:09 am, April 20, 2001

A Matrox rep at the AMD Tech Team dinner in Philadelphia tonight provided solid info regarding Matrox's current and future plans. To quote: '"G800 is completely dead." Apparently, the G800 was 'based on G400 design' and featured doubled pipelines, 128bit DDR memory, hardware transform and lighting, and some form of dual-chip technology. A slimmed down version will be hitting markets shortly, however. G550 is a single-chip solution featuring the same doubled rendering pipelines, 128-bit DDR support, but only a limited form of T&L.
According to the rep, Matrox analyzed T&L and found only one feature which needed immediate implementation: four-vertex matrix skinning. For those who didn't read up on Radeon's new tech, this skinning method allows two polygon objects to be "glued" together, and the hardware provides an interpolated join, resulting in smoother looking joints in 3D models, especially when moving.

The G550 will, of course, feature Matrox's great eDualHead tech and their renowned 2D clarity. The card is expected to fall between the GeForce 2 MX 400 and the GeForce 2 Pro in speed, most often falling just behind a GeForce 2 GTS. The G550 is expected to run in the $150 to 200 price range and be available within the next few weeks, "end of May at the latest."

In a more nebulous statement, the rep said, "Remember when G400 MAX first came out, and it was fastest thing and looked best? We are doing that again in first half 2002. We will be kings of 3D again, until someone jumps past us again. You know how 3D is." Sounds like G1000 will be a kicker next spring. Here's hoping Matrox can field a six-month cycle and get back in the game.
