Scrivener Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Lots of good news today! PS2 prices drop to $199 and Matrox announces a card that slaughters anything Nvidia may be able to put out for the next year. Seriously, Matrox. Whoda thunk it. If they can put out drivers of any reasonable quality, their new Parhelia will kick GeForece ass. And this comming from an Nvidia fanboy.

Gryphon Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Yeah, this announcement, coupled with Creative Labs' announced "P10" card signals a new era, I think, and one that will hopefully last for a while. This should hopefully drive prices down and quality up Question is, is there room for four chipset companies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 I can't wait to get my hands on this one I like the Anandtech review better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon 5 Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Looks good They say that the gf4 may outperform the Parhelia in low quality image situations... I prefer image quality to 5 more fps [ 05-14-2002, 14:26: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryphon Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Guys, let's all keep in mind that nVIDIA will be releasing their next chipset in, oh, about five minuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epsilon 5 Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 I think I'll keep my eyes on the gf4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG MILLER Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Matrox better seriously consider a price drop on that card. It is not a vidcard I would drop $400 for. For that price it has to, at most keep up with Nvidia's flagship GF4 Ti4600, which leaves the Parhelia in its dust. The only people I see buying that card at the current MSRP of $400, is Matrox fanboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 I don't think any gamer in their right minds would buy this card, now that we have all the details about it. However, casual gamers who also do content production work, may find uses for it. Only high-end games such as fp shooters, sims etc, require GF4 type speed. Other games don't.

Akira Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Too bad... I was hoping Matrox would bring their 3d up to par with their sweet 2d performance. Oh well, I guess it's still the Quadro DCC or Qaudro4 XGL for me Maybe ATI's R300 will be everything I want: perfect 2d; fast 3d; multimonitor support; and a pricetag somewhere around free hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon 5 Posted June 29, 2002 Report Share Posted June 29, 2002 Well well that guy from Matrox practically convinced me at buying a Parhelia istead of a gf4.. he has good points... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
