PP MguireNow wheres that Matrox ISA card i had laying around here.....oh wait...its in the trash.

I had no idea Matrox was even still around. Lol my friend always said theyd beat 3dfx. Seems i owe him 20 bucks.

Matrox Graphics specializes in professional multi-display video cards that enable more than one monitor to be driven by a single card. The targeted user-base for Matrox video cards largely consists of 2D, 3D, video, scientific, medical, military and financial workstation users.

During the 1990s, Matrox's "Millennium" line of video cards were noted for their exceptional 2D speed and visual quality. They had a wide following among users willing to pay for a higher quality and sharper display. In 1994 they introduced the Matrox Impression, an add-on card that worked in conjunction with a Millennium card to provide 3D acceleration. The Impression was aimed primarily at the CAD market and failed to make much of an impression on the rapidly emerging 3D gaming market. A later version of the Millennium included features similar to the Impression, but lagged behind emerging vendors like 3dfx Interactive.

Matrox made several attempts to regain a foothold in the market that was increasingly dominated by 3D-capable cards. The Matrox Mystique, released in 1996, was their first attempt to make a card with good gaming performance and pricing suitable for that market. A number of design decisions resulted in good 3D performance but poor quality 3D images, while the 2D support remained excellent. Matrox nevertheless made bold performance claims for the Mystique, but was widely derided in reviews as offering performance nowhere near the contemporary Voodoo1.

A refresh started with the short-lived G100, which was quickly replaced by the Matrox G200. The G200 was sold as two models, the Millennium G200 was a higher-end version typically equipped with 8 MB SGRAM memory, while the Mystique G200 used slower SDRAM memory but added a TV-out port. The G200 offered competent 3D performance for the first time, but was released shortly before a new generation of cards from Nvidia and ATI completely outperformed it. Later versions in the Matrox G400 series were never able to regain the crown, and despite huge claims for the Matrox Parhelia, their performance continued to be quickly outpaced by the major players.

Since then, Matrox has continued to shift the focus of its card designs towards specialized, niche markets, moving more deeply into enterprise, industrial, and government applications. In recent years they have held no more than a 3–5% share of the total video card market. Matrox is now divided in three divisions: Matrox Graphics, Matrox Video, and Matrox Imaging. Matrox Graphics is the primary consumer and end-user brand, while Matrox Video markets digital video editing solutions, and Matrox Imaging sells high-end video capture systems and "smart cameras", video cameras with a built-in computer for machine vision applications.

my_name_is_earlThey forgot to add one important feature. One touch fall over.

hayder.masteri think ATI still best chose for this

OneCoolBut will it play Crysis!!!!!!!!

btarunrYes.
