On this Chinese website you can already see some pictures of Matrox’ new graphics chip code-named “Parhelia” in action. An English translation of another russian source can be found here. Note this information was meant to be under NDA until the 14th of May. The pictures at this webpage show a three monitor display setup, demonstrating Quake3 Arena, a flight simulator and Adobe Photoshop. The text talks about a 20GB/s memory bandwidth, other sources indicate 19GB/s! An announcement by Matrox is expected on the 14th of May.
Provided They Ship This Card Out Soon…
All I Can Say Is WOW !!!
And Because I’m Also From Montreal Where Matrox’s Headquarters Is Located … I’m Kinda Proud To See Some Canadian Muscle Back On The Scene With ATI And Now MATROX Providing Some Blazingly Fast Cards …
I Wonder How ATI, and nVidia Will Counter This … (Product Announcments, etc.)
What I Can’t Help To Notice Is The “Coincidental” Launch Of The Apple RackMount Also On May 14 … I Wonder If This Announcement Has Anything To Do With That One Because Of The “AMIGA Statement” In Which This Very GFX Card And The “G5” Are Mentioned In The Same Blurb …
I Dunno … I’m Just Speculating
Tomorrow’s Gonna Be An INTERESTING Day For Sure …
Happy Mother’s Day To ALL !!!
It’s an interesting time to be alive as far as GFX cards go. I look forward to buying a really fast card next time I need to. I just hope that they will make good drivers. No matter how fast the cards are, if the drivers are bad, they are useless.
See it’s this kind of thing that could cause the US to turn Canada into the 51st state. Don’t taunt us with such things.
Surely a high-end GFX board and a rackmounted server have very little to do with each other?
Why don’t I think this is funny?
Good to see Matrox back on the scene! And in what a way!
