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.”

They always made interesting stuff. But even Adreno GPUs are more relevant to general PC use, even without having regular PCIe cards.
That's due to DX support. Adreno is just one step to invading PC market and that's taking their GPU and using High performance library for making chip production design.
And mali GPUs are not far behind in DX support.

Maybe their designs would not be competitive on desktops, but tablets/netbooks/notebooks are close enough in TDP they are already proving their worth in.

I had G200-based board back in the day, with passive cooling and even an option for VRAM upgrade via SODIMM.
It was rather unfortunate that Matrox wasted so much time delivering decent OpenCL ICD drivers in a critical period, where a lot of top-tier games used Quake engine for that API.

This is a 20 year old GPU, so no.

I had one of these in a dual Pentium Pro machine. Ahh the good ol days. The P Pros were very fast for the day. It's a shame Matrox didn't make it into the next century with Nvidia and AMD(ATI).
