Matrox G450 Announced

i will wait until the G800 is out, and if it is anywhere comperable to the comparable nVidia, 3dfx, and Ati cards in 3d performance, i will buy it because I MUST HAVE DUALHEAD AGAIN.

in college, once I got around not failing out, I found that I spent about 95% of my time using my computer in 2d mode, and 5% playing 3d games.

That made me rethink my priorities: I need a card that is outstanding in 2d as well as in 3d.

I got another video card (worked like shit though). Have any of you ever used dualhead? If you ever: use photoshop, browse the internet while talking on AIM, have tried to write a lab report about tables of data which you need to see at the same time, use irc and the internet, use irc and do work, browse shugashack while doing work, listen to winamp and do work: if you ever just like to use your computer, dual head makes it all so much better.

dual head is like sex. You never think it would be any good and you can't figure out how to make it work right. That is, until you have it. Afterwards, you can't be around a computer without trying to do it again.

I want dualhead that will not work like shit. Even shitty dualhead was so much better than normal computing

The G400MAX was a good card, but, as every l33t d00d knows:

either:

a) nVidia rocks! 3dfx sux0rs
b) 3dfx rocks! nVidia sux0rs

And they don't even pay attention to anyone else.

I think I just described about 75% of the shack's posters.

itz kenn koherstao frum Raven, did it not cum out right in your browser? it lookz fine on my AOl

is this just me?

I think Matrox skipping a generation is a smart thing to do, but that will be proven if they release a new gamer's card that kicks ass in the Fall.

Please update Suckage and all those other neat pages you used to keep up, Steve. Those pages brought a lot of us here. :-(

Personally I think this is off target (heh) but heres what people were saying:

G800(Condor II)
- Pin compatible with G450
- Double fillrate of G450
- Support for 250MHz DDR FCRAM
- Support for Hardware T&L
- Support for DirectX 8.0 Shader and fully functional DX7
- New DX7, 8 IDC drivers
- Mass production : Sept. 2000

UPDATE:
Matrox G450/800 Specs
High-end graphic market which G400Max has occupied will be replaced with G450 (code named Condor1) and in the 4th quarter, Matrox will launch G800 (code named Condor II). What surprised us mostly is that Matrox will supply G200 till 3rd quarter of 2000 to low-end graphics market.

G450 (Condor I)
- G400 MAX core with integrated RGB, NTSC/PAL and DVI outputs
- 64bit DDR SDRAM
- support for DDR FCDRAM
- 320 pin PBGA
- 0.18 micron 6 Metal Layer process
- Mass production : Mar. 2000
- 16MB frame buffer version : 2 x (2M x 32 DDR)
- 32MB frame buffer version : 4 x (4M x 16 DDR) or 4 x (2M x 32 DDR) 16MB version of G450 will use 166MHz memory clock (in case of FC DDR, 200MHz is feasible) and uses 64bit dual memory bus. G800(Condor II)
- Pin compatible with G450
- Double fillrate of G450
- Support for 250MHz DDR FCRAM
- Support for Hardware T&L
- Support for DirectX 8.0 Shader and fully functional DX7
- New DX7, 8 IDC drivers

Matrox will show dual chip configured version of G800 in order to meet the higher transformation and fill performance too.
