Tom's hardware review of Matrox Parhelia.

[redrumloa]

Mixed but postly positive review. Here's a clip:

Parhelia can indeed be viewed as an excellent alternative to the established competition, which makes things pretty exciting.

We already presume that the Parhelia will find many friends. However, if you are one of those who expect the Parhelia to be the super-product to topple NVIDIA from the 3D performance throne, you're going to be rather disappointed. Rather, the 3D quality is to be found in the details.

True, and also Tom's hrdware has been heavily favoring Radeons lately, which we will also be getting(first even).

redrumloa: If "Tom's hrdware has been heavily favoring Radeons lately," then why did they conclude that Nvidia's GeForce4 is still on top of "the 3D performance throne??"

I read Tom's hardware alot. They give the overall impression that they prefer Radeons over the Geforce line. IMO while the NVIDIA Geforce4 may hold a slight edge in performance over the Radeon8500, the Radeon8500 is a far superior card. basic 3D fillrate is not everything.

I read HardOCP and Anandtech alot also.

WTF is wrong with Tom's Hardware now?
