why matrox???

exactly

Matrox abandoned the 3d graphics market to ATI and nvidia long ago. But they have a pretty healthy niche among pros in which they're doing very well for themselves.

If you take a look at the product page for the RT.X2, the first words are “If you're a professional video editor”. If you're a pro buying a £1200 card like this, you won't be wasting your time with a single-core machine.

I don't see the point of the fuss.

Matrox made a few good cards over the years, although they never really cracked 3D performance.

For 2D work they were always the best though due to the amazing PQ their cards always produced.

IMO, its a shame they never got their act together in the 3D arena……the G200 and G400 I owned were good for their time and their dualhead implementation still makes nVidias and ATIs offerings pale in comparison.

I remember my first graphics card, a Matrox G400 (with 16MB ram!!!)

it lasted me 4 years..


ah happy days when I didnt feel the need to upgrade everyday :crazy:
