As Morpheus said, unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is... but
fortunately, the
Matrox Graphics
Drivers Home can tell you exactly where to find the new version 5.3 drivers
for Matrox accelerators. Here's the deal on the new release, which includes a TurboGL dealie that should be of
interest to gamers:
In addition to providing excellent Direct3D
performance, the 5.30 driver contains a full ICD for use with all Matrox
Millennium G200 as well as all Matrox G400-based cards, across all platforms
running on Microsoft Windows 95 or 98. The full ICD’s solid OpenGL performance
will be further optimized on a continuing basis with performance enhancements
and increased support for high-end OpenGL applications.
In an effort to offer Matrox Millennium G400-based game enthusiasts an immediate
performance increase in four popular OpenGL game titles, the Matrox 5.30 driver
also includes an additional ICD, named the Matrox TurboGL driver.
The Matrox TurboGL driver provides Intel Pentium III and AMD Athlon system users
with impressive performance increases over the previous driver release. Gamers
can expect a 19 percent increase in Quake II™ and 31 percent increase
in Quake III Arena™ from Activision/id Software; a 31 percent increase
in Half-Life™ from Sierra Studios/Valve Software; and an astounding 116
percent increase in Unreal™ from GT Interactive/Epic Games. To attain
such high levels of performance, the Matrox TurboGL driver makes full use of
Intel’s Streaming SIMD Extensions and AMD’s 3DNow! instructions.
Games, applications and systems that are not supported by the Matrox TurboGL
driver will use the full ICD by default. The appropriate drivers will be used
automatically, and do not require the user to manually configure any parameters.
