When will 3DStudio or Vibrant produce a driver for 3DSR3 or R4 for the MAtrox Impression Plus graphics card. I need to know asap, so I can return it before my return policy expires. THanks, Alex Imbastari

Bruce, Direct Vibrant support for the PCI Matrox video boards is on the top of the wishlist for the next revision of the Vibrant Drivers. However, we do not have a set date at this time for a new release of those drivers. In the meantime, I believe many Matrox users are successfully using the VESA drivers to run 3D Studio with the board you have. -Brian

Message———————————————————– I've been using the supplied MGA drivers with pretty good results as well. The only problem I have seen is that playing a flic at any resolution under 640×480 will display the wrong colors when used with the VL version of the Impression. Everything works great with the Impression+/PCI card from what I can tell.
