The hardware race keeps getting louder. Matrox Graphics said a special sneak peak of the Direct3D beta patch for Unreal the top-selling 3D action game developed by Epic MegaGames and published by GT Interactive Software is available for download at the Matrox web site. The patch offers enhanced Unreal game play for graphics accelerators that support Direct3D.

The early Unreal Direct3D beta patch gives users a sneak peak at Direct3D performance on Matrox Mystique G200, Millennium G200 and Marvel G200-TV boards prior to the worldwide release of the final patch. Although Epic MegaGames plans to release an Unreal Direct3D patch that is compatible with all other graphics accelerators in the coming weeks, great performance and compatibility with the MGA-G200 Series has allowed Matrox to release this advanced sneak-peak Direct3D beta patch for Matrox MGA-G200 users.
