New Matrox G550

[RanDum72]

Have you guys heard about the new Matrox? Supposed to have 2 rendering pipes with 3-textures each, plus a lightweight T&L engine.

its going to be revealed at E3 or something like that....a single chip core that has roots based on the now scrapped dual chip g800 chip. unfortunately its not going to win any speed crowns. it will have that kickass 2d though.

Yeah, Matrox pretty much publically announced that they did not plan to compete with Nvida and ATI in the "High-end gamers" market. From now on they are focusing on the business market. It's a real shame too, I was really looking forward to a high performance 2D/3D card from them soon.

Yea it's not gonna be a gaming card, it's gonna be a business card like the G450.

Even if their not going for the gaming market it could still trun out to have decent performance, which along with it's great 2D and dual-head implementation might be enough for some.
