Matrox G200: Celebrating 20 Years of Graphics Excellence

Matrox is pleased to announce the 20-year anniversary of its Matrox G200 graphics chip. Developed for 2D, 3D, and video acceleration, the G200 powered a number of industry-first, graphics and multi-monitor-based product lines that delivered unprecedented image quality across one or more displays. 

Matrox G200 instituted a new graphics standard in multi-display computing for a wide range of corporate, government, industrial, and end-user applications. It is widely recognized as the driving force behind the high-end professional 2D workstation phenomenon. By focusing on high-quality, Windows desktop acceleration, Matrox established the precedent for image quality on analog cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors with unrivaled visual acuity. This became the benchmark behind a number of ground-breaking and award-winning innovations including:

  • MGA-G200: Revolutionary graphics chip for accelerating real-world 3D applications ranging from entry-level to mid-range CAD/animation packages to demanding industrial software to next-generation 3D games
  • Millennium G200: First quad-monitor graphics card for high-performance corporate, government, and industrial applications
  • Mystique G200: Leading add-in board with display plus television support for small office and home entertainment setups
  • Marvel G200: Multi-functional add-in card with display, video capture I/O, and television input functionality for advanced non-linear editing systems
  • G200 IP licensing: Distinguished IP cores and drivers delivering industry-leading reliability and performance in servers, plus video appliances, mobile internet devices, and more

“We are fiercely proud of providing the industry with trusted, field-proven, long-life technologies that have inspired real solutions for real-world applications,” says David Chiappini, VP of research and development, Matrox Graphics Inc. “It’s exciting to see Matrox G200 celebrate a 20-year anniversary—an achievement that speaks volumes of the unwavering and long-term commitment and support that we offer to our partners and customers.”

I am simple man, I see new GPU, I ask if it can Crysis?

The real benchmark now is Chrome.

We've got a couple machines with a Matrox GPU, perfect for signage.

I remember Matrox. They were one of the top dogs when it came to GPUs back in the day along with 3dfx etc.

Pfft, relevance my rear end. These chip is just way to old and Matrox has forgotten completely what innovation means. I had a G200 waaaaaaaaay back when if you wanted real performance in your PC you stuck in a G200 and Voodoo 3dfx cards in your computer. 3dfx disappeared, ATI and Nvidia stuck it out. Matrox just got stuck. (ring) pick up the phone Matrox it's the 1990's calling. They want their chip back.

Why all this hostility towards an industry innovator - albeit an out-of-date one.
Matrox was a graphics leader back in the day.
They are celebrating the 20th anniversary of that.
You still celebrate your birthday, don't you?

They shifted gears, they're the leading entity for digital signage and multi monitor setups and displays.
