Now that's a name I hadn't heard in a very long time.
I thought that they had died ages ago.

On June 6, 2022, Zebra Technologies announced they had completed their acquisition of the Matrox Imaging division.
😢
It’s sounds like they went independent again.
Matrox videocards are overpriced shit that works only with proprietary blobs under the normal OS. Even Intel is better. Better in ALL regards. Feed the Matrox CEO to the ducks!
This happen for two reason:
1 their targets are not the consumer and gaming community.
2 they cost a lot because they are not piece of shit of hardware that burn just doing what they are supposed to do and this is because again they dont target the consumer market, they must be realiable and dont cause headhaches.
Look up what matrox is used for and maybe build bridges instead of burning it just for the sake of being an asshole.
Anyway i'm starting to see a pattern here with people like you that keep shitting on canadian and european products or to find ways to remove american proprietary software from things ignoring a good part of the post like the part that mention that there are open drivers in this case.
I know what Matrox is. Shit. Overpriced and whit with a cover of "workstation" slogans.
worstation my ass, you know nothing keep yapping nosense.
Not a very mature comment, it's hard to design graphics cards especially when the bigger players have the expertise and economies of scale on their side. Intel is american which goes against the spirit of the community.
Matrox is shit for the last 20 years or so.
And no, designing a videocard is easier than ever. Most electronic-related students would be capable of that to some extent. A few specialists would do something of Matrox-tier in a few months.
No, being Canadian isn't a synonym for "being good". Shit is shit.
You just complain and complain. Bringing down the mood.
Stop promoting shit then! Find something good. Nobody would complain about nice things.
I never said they're as good as the big 3 players just that they're a canadian graphics card company. I thought it was cool that we had one.
Stop being immature. Use better adjectives for describing things, your vocabulary is so bare that you're repeating the same annoying word 4 times.
I had no idea Matrox was Canadian, thanks for sharing!
ATI was Canadian, can't believe it's been nearly 20 years (oof) since AMD bought them.
ATI was always my go-to. They're still good with AMD. I only ever owned one NVidia card, it was crap.
