Matrox's New Three-Head Video Card

Posted by timothy on from the it's-almost-like-they're-not-really-leaks dept.

This Anonymous Coward was one of many readers to point to sites with information on Matrox's upcoming Parhelia-512 graphics card: "It appears that some foreign hardware sites have violated NDA and posted some very juicy details on Matrox's next generation hardware. iXBT's review can be found here(1), and a MURC posting with some other pics from China can be found here (2). It looks like the real deal. Will Matrox wake up from their long slumber in the 3D gaming market, or will this card be another stopgap like the G550 was?" Update: 05/12 14:07 GMT by T : Alexander Medvedev of ixbt.com points to the English version now online as well, and notes : "Please note, we can't violate NDA becouse we _do _not _sign _anything with Matrox Graphics. And never receive any info from Matrox."

    "some very juicy details"??? Did the video card sleep with its cousin or something?

      No, it locked a Geforce 4 Ti4600's in a box and fed them only the bare minimum to keep them alive.

      for sport.

    Heh? Are VidCards some new type of monster?

    I didn't think the Matrix Reloaded would be that strange.

    Did they hire a few people away from nvidia? Did they run across some brand new winderkind?

    They musta' bought out BitBoys - with their Exciting!, New!, Glaze3D technology. Or perhaps they found the secert fountain of Amiga technology. Or something.

    I'm not laughing. I own a Vax. There were some volcanologist graduate students, that were poking around the neighborhood last summer, they thought that they had discovered some unknown thermal vent on an obscure satellite heat map. They were disappointed when I explained it was just the trusty MicroVax. I felt kinda bad, to tell the truth.
