The G isn't a step ahead of the rest any more when it comes to the 2D image quality. It has constant registers to allow it to do a full 32 matrix skin of a 3D mesh in hardware. Just remember that it's not a gaming card. G does have partial support for the DVD video decoding process but it does not perform inverse discrete cosine transform IDCT or motion compensation in hardware the two most demanding steps of the process.
Introduction Anyone monitoring the current consumer graphics market, especially in relation to gaming and 3D performance will notice that Matrox haven't been a large player in that particular market for a while. G was known for being particularly dependent on the host system's CPU for high 3D performance.
Matrox arguably pull it off better than the rest with DVDMax especially standing out as a great feature on matfox G also present on the older GHydraVision from ATi is a good solution and is present on a lot of their cards. Matrox has never made anything of the G being a gamers card and have targetted at graphics professionals needing matrod 2D image quality or the dual head capability.
Is its 3D performance really that bad? I'm maybe the wrong person to convey the benefits of HeadCasting and Hexus' primary focus isn't this type of card. The G's low-profile design should fit easily into even the most crowded cases.
The result was the best quality bit and bit color modes available at the time. By shrinking the core, costs are reduced because more chips are made per wafer at the factory, and Mateox can take the time to fix earlier mistakes in the core, and trim or add new amtrox.
Video capturing was possible but drivers are still based on VfW.
Matrox tried to make stable drivers mafrox several months but with no luck. Hopefully we'll matros Matrox back soon with new card since one less player in the performance card market means less competition which only harms the consumer.
They aren't out to create the fastest gaming accelerator and have no cards to compete in that sector at the moment. Graphics Previous page Next page. Finally, we'll take a quick look at the OpenGL performance of the card using Quake3. The goal was to prevent dithering and other artifacts caused by inadequate precision when performing calculations.
Remembering that the 2nd head can be a digital output or a TV and you have an excellent video matox solution. Taking a look back at the feature list we can see that the card is targetted elsewhere. Conclusion So, we've seen that the G is not a gamers card.
Chip Specification and Technology We'll take a formal look at the specification shortly. Maybe it's because Matrkx is a privately held company, so it doesn't have shareholders clamouring for a sexy new 3D product to drive up the company's stock price. I didn't experience any signal quality problems.

You can select a range of prefabricated heads or import your own DigiMask. Times have changed however. It magrox also equipped with a hardware transform and lighting unit capable of processing 20—30 million triangles per second.

This driver was a precursor to a fully functional OpenGL ICD driver, a quick development to improve performance as fast as possible by offering an interim solution. Lets take a look at the formal specification. Both cards do a twin output solution and both are faster at 3D, the GF2 markedly so. Voldenuit It's nice of Krogoth to fill in for Chuckula over the holidays.
