Wth is matrox?

Another manufacturer of graphics cards, though not so much now. Google. Not a surprise that neither they nor S3's discrete cards no longer show at all with that many decimal places.

The Nvidia of the 90's.

Ahh the hours I spent trying to track down the Mystique patch for Tombraider..

... the most recent quarter looks very much as if it is a 'break out' quarter ...

... The downward trend line has been well and truly smashed through and often such a statistical feature means that a trend has been broken ...

Curious set of interpretations there; the total sales figures were still below those for both Q3 and Q4 2014, and the results are entirely in keeping a steady declining trend - the actual sales barely make it above the trend line, so I don't know where you got "smashed through" from. The seasonal dips in both '14 and '15 were larger than in previous years without a balancing increase in the seasonal peaks, so the most recent increase is from a very low baseline, which is going to make the percentage growth look better; at best, it looks like this quarter has prevented an acceleration in the decline of add-in board shipments. They're still down almost 4% year-on-year....

Matrox were basically the forefront in multidisplay set ups, basically the way eyefinity on AMD works but much much much simpler. Made 3 screens look like 1 huge screen via a little box between the GPU and the screens or as an actual GPU. They slowly died down because their GPUs just didn't advance in the sheer grunt area like AMD + NVidia did.

Matrox are still quite big in digital signage and productivity, thanks to products like a single-slot 8 monitor card: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/pr.../m9188pciex16/

Ahhhh Matrox......I still remember the days of G200 + Voodoo2 SLI!

Yeah they sell into the video industry as well, probably some other niche places.

Their latest cards use AMD silicon though at the heart.

I honestly think that AMD doesn't stand a chance against Nvidia.

I honestly think that AMD/nvidia doesn't stand a chance against intel.

I've corrected your error.......

Have you had Voodoo 2 SLI??!?1/!/!
You lucky ...man!
I was dreaming about one Voodoo!
Now I know why I haven't had it you did have mine!

Yes, the steady increase in integrated graphics must have Nvidia very worried. Currently they are selling expensive cards like the 970 and 980 very well, but they can't keep making the cards more expensive and their market share to Intel for all those non gaming machines (the bulk of the market) isn't ever coming back. Intel have made sure that Nvidia are not legally able to make an x86 cpu (which I think it a real shame, their ARM architecture is interesting and we could do with another player).

I still have & used my matrox millennium, in those days We had SiS VGA cards cheap & cheerful and Nvidia Riva TNT that as a great card. Matrox Parhelia was ment to be the next Big Thing, but it was too hyped up.

[Whosdanoob]

Nvidia still dominating strongly.
