Any ideas? It says it isn't going to be 3DMark, so what gives?

wow... a "real" (=gaming) Matrox card on tuesday? maybe they will have a 3dMark 2001 3rd Ed (Aka Matrox Edition)
Mat: don't quote on me about that... it is just a rumour. :smile: and I said tech release. :smile: cards based on that tech may be released later.
Anyways, I am pretty sure that we will see something totally new before or at the GDC from matrox.

Nappe,
I was looking around the MURC to see if I could find anything relating to tech releases from Matrox, and didn't find anything...
Is this "next Tuesday" that you mentioned something that you heard, or something that you read somewhere?
I'm *very* interested in finding out anything about Matrox, as I've been following the happenings and/or goings-on @ the MURC for some years now (I, like many others, was totally dissapointed with the whole G800 debacle).

I think Nappe1 means March 19 by "next Tuesday".
This is the day GDC starts and it is beleived on MURC that Matrox is announcing their next card at GDC.
This belief is based on two things:
1. Matrox appears at GDC as an exhibitor.
2. Haig said "All yee faithfulls, let the countdown begin" on February 12.

OK...
I went to the "Crystal Ball" forum there, and found that thread with the "Countdown" subject...
There isn't anything in the way of substance, as far as a definitive timeline (is there such a thing as definitive?)
I know I read a couple of things @ the MURC which indicated a possible May tech-release (preview boards and/or just spec release), with a possible July-ish release.
But that doesn't seem to have anything to do with GDC...?

Hyp-X: check out that thread where Haig said about begin the countdown... there is few Old school MURCers comenting it in very interesting way...
Type Def:
well, I really don't want to comment more on that, because that would heat up too much my and some my sources butts , but I am pretty sure that Matrox shows something at GDC. And usually Matrox has made annoucements just before some big events.
12th of Feb is the day when Haig commented at MURC and 12th of March is next tuesday. But still, we week away from GDC, so is it too early? well only time shows.
anyways, Interesting week coming...

Just like 3Dmark this one belongs in the trash can, Madonion double standard trash
I'd have to agree on the disk bench.
My Maxtor DMP60, 60GB, 7200 RPM drive gets a paltry 655. Now, granted, this is an NTFS partition (which is markedly slower than FAT32), but the disparity amongst similar performing drives is a bit hard to believe. It would also appear that SSE2 is vitally important to having a good CPU as the P4s (pre-Northwood) are trouncing Athlon XPs that, at least IMHO, are as fast or faster.
Hmmm....perhaps the paranoia about MadOnion promoting certain suppliers in subversive ways isn't all that unbelieveable after all.
But, hey, it's just a bench and my rig is still a screamer.

Original P4's are scoring higher than Athlon XP's, and we all know that a Athlon XP eats original P4's for breakfast , Northwoods are just starting to catch up.
