Matrox G400 Win2K GL?
This is a discussion about Matrox G400 Win2K GL? in the Windows Hardware category; Any Matrox G400 users out there having any problems with GL in Win2K? I heard D3D works great, but GL games like Quake3 won't run. I'd REALLY like to make the move back to Win2K. I'm running Win98SE now after upgrading from the TnT2 to the G400.

On a side note, very impressed with the G400. MUCH better picture quality than the TNT2's, with the same (and in some cases more) speed.

The existing G400 W2K drivers from Matrox suck. I have a G400 sitting on a shelf, because it's slower than my TNT1 under W2K.
You'll just have to live with it until Matrox get their sh1t together...

i hope ati releases usable drivers for opengl, when they finally release there beta drivers, (those sob's still havn't release anything, after a year of complaining to them <G> )
i've seen the opengl bugs on a friends comp with a matrox g200 card, its pretty ugly bug.
