The goal was to prevent dithering and other artifacts caused by inadequate precision when performing calculations. An item that has been used previously. The G is a video card made by Matroxreleased in September Perhaps the most notable feature of G is its ability to drive two separate monitors to display a single desktop.
As said earlier, G suffered at launch from driver problems.

There seems to be a problem serving the request at this time. This feature is known as "DualHead" and was a decisive edge for Matrox over the card's competitors at the time. This item doesn't belong on this page. Skip to main content.
Only a few games supported the feature, such as Dungeon Keeper 2 and Millennium Soldier: It added some matrpx features to DualHead that worked with Internet Explorer to make pages show up on both screens at once. A bit bus reduces the board's complexity and cost because fewer traces have to be used, and potentially matroxx pin-count of the graphics processor can be significantly reduced if the chip is designed only for a bit bus.
Guaranteed by Fri, Jan 4. The order cannot be combined or modified after checkout has been completed. With regard to its hardware, G's triangle setup mqtrox, called the "Warp Engine" ironically, was somewhat slower than the counterparts aboard the competition's cards. Internally the G is a bit processor, using what Matrox calls a "DualBus" architecture.
Due to this lack of industry-wide support, and its toll on the limited graphics hardware of the time, EMBM only saw limited use during G's time. The Mfa capability not only offered desktop widening but also desktop cloning two screens showing the same thing and a special "DVDMAX" mode which outputs video overlays onto the second monitor.
The industry's first single-chip, dual-display PCI graphics card, the Millennium G PCI is equipped with a host of features - such as third-generation DualHead technology including eDualHead-designed to improve multitasking and increase productivity. Be the first to write a review.

Matrox made it very clear that they were committed to supporting OpenGL, however, and development rapidly progressed. G's rendering pipelined uses what Matrox called "Vibrant Color Quality 2" VCQ2a functionality in which all internal 3D natrox are done with bit precision. By using this site, you agree to the Terms matrlx Use and Privacy Policy.
G does have partial support for the DVD video decoding process but it does not perform inverse discrete cosine transform IDCT or motion compensation in hardware the two most demanding steps of the process. Memory Size see all. Unfortunately, because of the identical core clock and due to lower memory bandwidth, G was slower than G in games.
Matrox G Computer Graphics Cards. EMBM requires either specialized hardware within the chip h450 its calculations or a more flexible and programmable graphics pipeline, such as later DirectX 8. It is purely a Direct3D 6. Matrox tried to make stable drivers for several months but with no luck.

The result was the best quality bit and bit color modes available at the time. Modified Item see all. Views Read Edit View history. Compatible Slot see all. Matrox only supports HeadCasting feature through the bundled Matrox Digimask software, which have never become popular.
