The Millennium G550 was a performance-segment graphics card by Matrox, launched on November 26th, 2001. Built on the 180 nm process, and based on the Condor graphics processor, in its MGA-G550-B variant, the card supports DirectX 8.0. Since Millennium G550 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. It features 2 pixel shaders and 1 vertex shader 2 texture mapping units, and 2 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). Matrox has paired 32 MB DDR memory with the Millennium G550, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 125 MHz, memory is running at 166 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA. Millennium G550 is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 4x interface. The card measures 168 mm in length, and features a single-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 199 US Dollars.
