Talk:Matrox G200
Mystique
[edit]Re: "Mystake". Yes, thanks for that. I didn't realise that there was more than one version of the Mystake. Perhaps if and when you put up a page about the earlier version, you could give some explanation of why it was called the "Mystake". Thanks.
- I'm going to put together an article on the older pre-G200 Mystiques one of these days. I need to do some research beforehand though. I have the cards in a drawer here, so it's just a matter of time!
- Basically the reason the old cards were called the "Mystake" by some was that their 3D acceleration lacked many important features and that caused them to have very ugly image quality. They left out transparency support and bilinear texture filtering, for example. Performance was actually not bad though, a lot better than ViRGE (but a lot slower than Voodoo Graphics). For 2D they are not far behind MGA Millennium, and that is nothing to complain about. They weren't bad cards, but they definitely were not ground breaking in any way. Except in that they were Matrox's first Direct3D-capable cards. They were really cost-reduced Millenniums (no WRAM) with much more robust 3D, relative to Millennium. --Swaaye 05:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
SGRAM
[edit]Do we have a picture of the 8 MB SGRAM upgrade module for the G200? Those were quite rare apparently. 2fort5r (talk) 13:03, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Article reads like marketing copy
[edit]Half this article reads like it was written by a marketing department. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.124.154.251 (talk) 14:45, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
Manager speak
[edit]This article is filled with bombastic manager-speak, ie. "significant player", "high-end", "excellent", "excelled" and "innovate", and this is only the very first paragraph of the article. I'm almost disappointed they didn't mention how this company leveraged their synergies with manageable and scalable enterprise Java-based solutions(tm).
