Amiganauts rave over Matrox G1000

[redrumloa]

Yeah, I agree completely. But just as a measure of saying it meets the required "600Mhz". I'm sure the G3 will perform just fine at 600Mhz.

Since Matrox is a 'partner' of Amiga, hopefully this means the AmigaOne and OS4.0 will be listed as supported platforms on Matrox's website:-D

I doubt it.
1) Because Matrox just names official drivers
2) OS4 won't be supporting the new Matrox card at
the beginning
3) 'partner' means more or less 'you'll get dev infos'.

You and I can both agree voodoo3 drivers where a HUGE improvement over old miggy gfx cards Alkemyst! And that was on our classic boxes with very limited PCI bandwidth.

yeah huge is an understatement.

Problem with Ben’s post…

I don’t think one can compare a semi-DirectX 9 class GPU to a DirectX 8.x class GPU and claim victory.

One has to understand that both ATI (i.e. ~R300) and nVidia has their own direct-X 9 class GPUs in the works.

Ben has made the same flawed comparisons for “X86 vs PPC” comparisons by including Motorola’s next generation product (i.e G5). The x86 industry has it’s own next generation product in the pipe line i.e. AMD’s K8 points to this progression.  

Ben is just looking from a single perceptive.

Relative to its competitors, I’m pretty skeptical about Motorola’s record of delivering the next generation product in the timely fashion, e.g. 68040 clock speed limit and lateness of G4’s 1 Ghz race.  

(I’m aware of IPC + faster clock speed = faster CPU product)...
