Matrox Productiva G graphics card - MGA G - 8 MB Overview - CNET
That is right, g1100 steps between half transparent and opaque! Data Processing Unit can now calculate vertex fog and bilinear interpolator was added to Texture Mapper. And it finally has a bilinear filter.
I found it difficult to believe such low chip clock inpersonally I would expect divider of 2. The big geeky question is what is the 3d mgs exactly. Watching this puppy drawing mega texels per second back in the days when I believed it runs at 41 MHz filled my head with associations with Parhelia's quad texturing.
Following chips were about making G more cost efficient. G have a huge potential, Matrox really put the chip clock unnecessarily low. Surprise Since Matrox quickly remove any gaming bells from G just like with Millennium II criticism of 3d capabilities would be off the place. These are the times when vsync on slow display makes me a sad panda.

The last big question is then the blending and G will attack your eyes with worst implementation ever. I am saving screenshots at this position to compare texturing of the fence. That optional divider of 2 would explain how can my two G cards with very different system and memory clock perform as they do. Pipeline depth is whole two steps: AGP configuration is a bit perplexing.

Matrox still could not be bothered ,ga OpenGL driver. Epilogue So much about a chip that should have play games until release date arrived and Matrox turned on a dime.
In fact, these two cards often trade blows which implies chip clock is compensating memory clock differences. It is faster than Mystique even with extra features, but basic 3d rendering looks similar.
G got all the attention.
Soon the prices dropped to g1100 and G was presented as office card- and it was excelent at that. Multitexturing speed aside, would Matrox develop another Fast Texture Architecture 3d core and release it just one month before much better 3d chip? But if the real chip clock is higher, then integer dividers would get me nowhere near the other board.

At least with this card 32 bit depth becomes realistic possibility and allowed me to confirm mipmap selections of G are indeed problematic. Last totally failing titles are Populous: It is an evolution of Fast Texture Architecture, but what else could change? This raised my expectations regarding gaming speed, but surprisingly it did not exceed tested 4 MB G unless memory capacity is of concern. Despite being the slow one among new architectures it was very different from previous MGA chips because Matrox became for first time gg100 image quality leader.
Very simple board of cheapest Matrox product. Good news is that unlike Mystique and Millenium II this card displays textures in all games, only world texturing of Half Life and Thief resists. The shocker came next year when G with all the traditional advantages of Matrox showed gma on par with hyped TNT2 and Voodoo3.
Like so often with early 3d cards you better disable mip-mapping though, or you will face some random mip level switching.
Rain, shadows even environmental maps can be easily rendered by proper amount of ordered black pixels. I have no idea. Since two of them g10 fully opaque and fully transparent, there is only 14 patterns to cover intermediate steps from half to fully transparent.
Don't tell me they were scared of 3dfx's patents.
