Haha...so in other words: no, you don't know what Matrox has planned.

Personally, I am biased against ATI after having had way too many bad
experiences with their software. (Specifically, their "MMC" program.)
It must be too hard for them to make quality a serious priority, with
the way they're trying to push a new video card out to market every
month or so (it seems).

I've been a fan of Matrox for over 5 years, but for Direct X 9,
get an ATI card, my ATI 9600 works great.

om...
Does anyone know if there are plans for matrox to release a video card
that has hardware DirectX 9.x support? I seem to remember that the
Parhelia was originally advertised this way, but for some reason, was
pushed back to DirectX 8.1.


I am getting my current information regarding supported DirectX
versions at:

(And please no responses about how DirectX 8.x cards are "mostly
compatible with DirectX 9.x technology"... I've seen that "answer"
everywhere else I've looked, thanks!)
