That note about only 20-30% advantage over the Ti4600 is interesting. I think that's due to a combination of 4 things:
1. Matrox needs to work on the drivers (obviously) 2. Bottlenecks with current AGP implementations 3. Bottlenecks in system memory 4. Bottlenecks in the CPU and bus |

finally the official site. i didnt understand the most translations from ibit site. so i had to read this over and it seem to be one hellva card. So, that is good, now we got 3 major companies in gfx market. it will drive the card price down a little. anybody remember consoles and cpu price wars? now add gfx. oh btw, ps2 now cost 200 bucks. |
