This is described in detail in the "MGA Settings" section later in this document. After the installation of the PowerDesk files, the Matrox Wizard will guide you through the steps to take in order to change the display adapter from "Millennium" to "Millennium PowerDesk".

The killer combo of lack of fogging, filtering and proper blending View Matrox screenshot gallery Incidentally OpenGL games can give a hint of Matrox'es Simple Interface, because Techland wrote a driver based on MSI library for their game using Quake 3 engine.

Matrox Graphics is the primary consumer and end-user brand, while Matrox Video markets digital video editing solutions, and Matrox Imaging sells high-end video capture systems and "smart cameras", video cameras with a built-in computer for machine vision applications. The Impression was aimed primarily at the CAD market. Computer-related introductions in Video cards.

Overall feel is closer to console like Playstation rather than other PC 3d graphics. In Unrealfor example, there were problems with distortions on the ground textures caused by a bug with the board's subpixel accuracy function.

In came Titan chip with feature set expanded by basic 3d operations: I did run full suite on the slowest board, but there are no surprises.

Next chip in the line was Athena, powering the first Impression boards. Its 2D support rivaled the best cards available for performance and quality, however. Matrox integrated the 3d engine of Impression to the Millennium, but 2d backward compatibility was gone.

Z-buffer with 16 bit bus was optional. Not to be confused with Maxtor. A later version of the Millennium included features similar to the Impression but by this time the series was lagging behind emerging vendors like 3dfx Interactive. It runs fast at x, but I feel slowdowns in complex scenes.
