Matrox DirectX 9 card ?
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: http://www.matrox.com/mga/products/c...s_parhelia.cfm (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!) |

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 used a Matrox Myst. and G400 (still use the G400 in an older Win 98SE
system) Also a Voodoo 5, currently using an ATI 9600 PRO AIW (cat 4.6), works great for me. Matrox (in my option) sells to a limited market of "Ultimate 2D professional systems" It seems that Matrox is letting ATI/Nvidia slug it out on the mass gaming market. "Rob K" wrote in message om...
