Matrox C900 Graphics Card with Nine DisplayPorts
Yes, they still are alive! Matrox Graphics Inc. today announced Matrox C900, the world's first single-slot, nine-output graphics card that supports nine 1920x1080 displays at 60Hz.
A special-purpose graphics card designed to power 3x3 and 9x1 video walls, Matrox C900's single-slot form factor and low power consumption at 75W offer digital signage and video wall vendors simpler integration and a lower cost of ownership. Its support for stretched desktop across all nine synchronized outputs lets users run any application full screen across a 3x3 video wall which makes the card ideal for signage installations in retail, corporate, entertainment and hospitality environments as well as control room video wall solutions in security, process control and transportation.
"Three-by-three configurations are the sweet spot for many digital signage installations and control room video walls," said Caroline Injoyan, business development manager, Matrox Graphics Inc. "Now with C900, for the first time, nine Full HD displays can be driven from a single-slot card and system integrators can easily offer a turnkey solution to power three-by-three video walls. They also benefit from the premium technical assistance, long product life cycles and reliability that Matrox is known for."
Matrox C900 is a PCI Express 3.0 x16 graphics card with 4GB of memory that supports nine displays at a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 per display or a total desktop resolution of 5760x3240 in a 3x3 display configuration. More displays can be supported by inserting two C900 cards or a C900 plus a Matrox C680 six-output board into a system to power 18- or 15-screen video walls. The board-to-board framelock feature ensures synchronization of all displays. C900 features nine mini-HDMI connectors, supports digital audio through HDMI and is DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.4 compliant. It is compatible with Matrox Mura IPX Series 4K capture and IP encoder & decoder cards.
Matrox C900 will be available in Q2 2016.

Yes, that's never been under question, they've used AMD GCN GPUs for a while now. The bigger question is if it's still Cape Verde or did they switch to some other GCN GPU

When you see Crysis 3's intro, where Prophet gives a backdrop on the story, and replace every time he says "CELL" with "NVIDIA", it all makes f*cking sense.

Matrox Millenium (II), my 1st circa £200 GFx card...
Seemed to stay around the £200 mark since then for some time, though I had to drop back a little from the bleeding edge to maintain it.
Sadly those days have ended and even one step (or two) from the bleeding edge (+a few months or so) now has an entry ticket price of £309 which I paid for my current card.
heh, Even my 1st PC with that Matrox Millenium and P75 chip cost me over £2,000

yes yes... that was a dedicated 3D processor, rite?
you have your PCI Matrox Milenium for 2D and then Matrox m3D for the Quake.
Yes that was it, forgot about the Millenium part of the setup
