It's in chinese, but it has a few pics...

Babelfish Translation...
"Yesterday, also was on May 10th , Matrox G1000 which Wan Zhong focused attention on reveals the card domestically in forestalls the release conference, although the Matrox stipulation global synchronization issue time was on May 14th , but they actually forestalled in China to issue, obviously Matrox to Chinese market value.

Is been called as G1000 by us this block reveals the card genuine name is called Parhelia , at the release conference, the Matrox engineer demonstrated to us G1000 revealed the card the very many new characteristics and the technical specification, looked from the technical specification, this funds reveals the card indeed is one section may surmount all the at present reveals the card the product, but in held a meeting before all media all signs the security agreement, because possessed the report all must only then be able to promote in May 14th, therefore we now cannot the excessively many reports technology characteristic, but was allowed to give everybody slightly discloses one point:

Parhelia is in the world first section 512 GPU , uses 0.15 microns production craft, integrated 8000 ten thousand transistors, had 256 reveals saves, reveals saves the band width surpassed 20GB/s , detailed technical specification everybody or when on May 14th looked our report. P

At the release conference, the Matrox engineer demonstrated for us used three outputs the effects, really was very crisp, on the scene many media editions also personally experienced play Quake3 with three monitors the feeling.

Clicks on the enlargement, we may see in Q3 the broad field of vision!

The simulation flight game angle of view also changes so broadly!

What type feeling will use such angle of view carries on the PhotoShop processing is?



Although this Matrox brings or one section type card, but we or may feel, Parhelia will certainly to change Matrox at present reveals the card market in 3d the disadvantageous aspect, the enhancement competition ability. As for our consumer, the Parhelia appearance means we later will be able to have more choices!

not much info there but at least we know it exists

and now I'm 100% sure that ID will demo Doom3 on E3 using the Parhelia and three monitors ( suspected it from what Ant said on Murc forums, but now I'm sure )



Now I just need two extra monitors... wonder if anyone has 20" ArtMedia GT-960T for sale anywhere

the coherency of it all...

triple-head is cool, but honestly, how many people will be able to use that?
i wonder what type of connectors it'll support...dual DVI, single analog...dual analog, single DVI?...triple DVI?...

Probably won't be terribly useful for most gamers, but remember this card is also meant for highend CAD/CAM and design work.

Gregor: Me too man. After reading the same thing re-worded a couple times, I always just say "screw it" and wait for an English site.

If you want a lowdown on the FAA-16x mode then look at this graph:

FAA-16x

It seems that it sorts out only those pixels that are aliased and stores them in a buffer and then performs the anti-aliasing on them. This should allow almost full speed since only a few % of the pixels are 'fixed'. Or am I way off base here?

From the rough translation, Parhelia does not seem to have any banwidth saving tech (LMA, or HyperZ), rather, they decided to use fast (and expensive) 256bit package. They say it is 20% faster than 4600 with current drivers.

The chip will be partially DX9 compatible: full DX9 VS, but with PS 1.3 (same as GF4). Interesting that Matrox chose 1.3 route.

Some info over at NVnews on the Parhelia
Yesterday, on 10.5, the long awaited Matrox G1000 video card was announced in China, prior to the official global announcement dated on 14.5. That shows how important the Chinese market is for Matrox.

The true name of the card that we called G1000 is Parhelia. The technicians from Matrox showed us many new features and technical specs of the G1000. According to the specs, the card is in fact superior to any other current video cards. Before the conference all the media participants have signed the NDA. Any report should wait until 14.5. Therefore we cannot reveal too much technical specs at the moment. But we would give you a few hints:

Parhelia is the world?s first 512 bit GPU. It?s produced with the 0.15-micron technology and has 80 million transistors. The 256 bit video memory has a bandwidth over 20GB/s. More information can only be disclosed on 14.5.

The technicians from Matrox also showed us the triple-head technology. It was really nice. Many editors from the media even got a personal feeling of it by playing Quake3 on three monitors.

Although it was only a sample card, but we still have got the feeling, that Parhelia will definitely change Matrox?s position on the current 3D video market and makes it a stronger competitor. For the end users, Parhelia means more options!

Now if this G1000 offers at least a 3D performance of GeForce3-level with the same 2D on all 3 VGA outputs, I'm sold.

I was getting into some 3D games recently and considered to build a separate rig or get a G450 PCI and a Radeon or GF4 on the AGP port. I guess that this new Matrox will offer everything I want.

The G450/550 was fast enough 3D for my games. Im sure this new one would satisfy most needs if you dont have to mortgage it.
