Matrox Now Shipping D-Series D1480 Graphics Card

I also had the Millienium II and the G400. Interestingly, I ordered a MAX version, but the non-max version turned up. When making Matrox aware of the error, they sent me the MAX and told me to keep the non-Max. Happy days!

I can't imagine how awfully these cards must perform...

The last Matrox card I ever had was a Millennium II, and it was amazing... until 3DFX and nVidia came along and simply destroyed Matrox with their first releases. Matrox could only work in a vacuum, and when other, more competent companies started innovating, Matrox simply did not know what to do, as they simply did not know how to make any kind of technology which could compete... I see it's still the same for them today.

Fantasy can be fun, as evidenced by your comment..

I must admit that it would be interesting to see a review of one of these "state of the art" cards from Matrox.

Given what you already stated, it would likely be disappointing to you.

Matrox was always geared at the professional and business sectors as a focus of their business, gaming came as a secondary concern. Not much has changed.

They used to be sought after by the Sim community for multi monitor setups in the early days.

I guess these are Pascal based, GP107 maybe?

Maybe, and I wonder if this can even touch the legacy level from 2002, or it is blurry and washed out ?
