Matrox G400 Announced

Matrox Graphics adds a new dimension to 2D, 3D and video with the announcement of the new Matrox G400, the sixth generation chip in the company's highly awarded line of graphics technology.

Matrox G400 Announced hits the March 1999 news desk on March 16, 1999. Matrox Graphics adds a new dimension to 2D, 3D and video with the announcement of the new Matrox G400, the sixth generation chip in the company's highly awarded line of graphics technology.

The new Matrox G400 chip renders images at the highest quality while integrating the fastest 2D, 3D and digital video performance in a single 0.25m chip. Users in the most demanding business and home computing environments will benefit from the powerful, well-balanced acceleration of the industry's only 256-bit Dual Bus architecture implementing support for AGP 4X and AGP 2X. That is the PC hardware treadmill in full sprint: faster chips, cheaper boards, louder claims, and gamers trying to figure out what is worth the money.
