Matrox G1000 Next Week

79
It looks like it's Matrox's turn to change the world. Their Matrox website has a teaser up showing May 14th as the day they will introduce their next big thing. The Matrox guys were showing off their card at GDC to a few developers (they wouldnt let me in, bah). The unofficial impression that I heard from a few folks was that the card can hang with the GeForce2/3 cards. Here's the email Matrox has been sending out: Thanks Tech-Report

Subject: Psst...it's almost here...
Who: Matrox Graphics
What: The biggest launch since the “Millennium”
Where: http://www.matrox.com/mga/
When: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 9:00:00 AM EST
Why: It’s what you’ve been waiting for
Tell your friends.

It should be noted that what was being shown at GDC was almost certainly not final hardware. It could turn out to be faster, it's almost always impossible to tell with videocards these days until you see the benchmarks with so many variables.
