Nvidia Threatens to Become A Monopoly

[RolloTheGreat]

I think the Matrox M3D was $100..

The g400 and Parhelia were very expensive though.  They were the only Matrox 3D accelerators worth getting excited about.  The M3D wasn't even a matrox designed chip, it was some variant of a nasty old Videologic PCX2 chip.  Total junk.

I guess those who thought the console contracts would save them overestimated the revenue stream from those parts, or underestimated how much revenue AMD needs.

Probably both at once given how brainless your average FanATic is!  

Hey some thought the M3d was the shape of things to come with it's tile based rendering, too bad the stuff it rendered had cracks in it.
