Matrox...a Geforce killer....haahahahahahahahaha ......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHA

 We heard the same crap for the lame ol' G400,and it's successors,all of which sucked.

 I'll bet by the time this card is eventually out,not only will it NOT be as good as a Geforce IV,but Nvidia will already be two generations farther along.IMHO.

It will be a very nice card but I doubt a geforce killer

i hope they follow though after it and not just sit back and quit like they did after the g400

matrox has the potential to put down nvidia, and competition is good for us, the sheep with the dough

yah, hopefully this will keep the competition going and really advance video capabilities further along.

I agree it may not be a killer, but damn....not bad if they can pull through with what they are saying.

My computer is so fast now with a GeForce3 (in the sense of it runs everything out flawless) I wonder just what software they are targeting in the near future. Even Demo’s of things to come are no prob.

 Not too long ago hardware updates were neck and neck with the next game they put out. New Sim for example, would = marginal FPS and make you think upgrade.

It's been a long 6 months since anything taxed the Black Box, really.

Certainly, demanding CPU/Video software is on the way, but on the immediate horizon?

Let em shoot it out, I have ZERO loyalty to hardware name-brands, or software companies for that matter. Make it better, cheaper, and funner, I’m in.

According to Matrox, we should be seeing Parhelia-512 based video cards on store shelves by the end of summer. Prices are still up in the air, but pricing of $400 seems to be floating around for the 256MB variant of the card, even though we were told that the 128MB variant of Parhelia will hit store shelves first. We can't wait to get one of these cards into the labs to see what it can really do.
