Matrox's announced spec's for this card:

GPU:  375 Mhz
RamDAC: Dual 400 Mhz

Does not sound like the test board was a production unit!

A quick glance at Matrox site and they seem to have removed all references to the speed (Mhz) of the GPU!!

Matrox have never said their chip would run at 375MHz..


You are right in that they never officialy said that, BUT they did leak it on their OWN web site and on numerious other sites.  If you search this site you will find plenty of data backing this up including links to the pertenent pages!

It didn't seem to me that Tom's Hardware was kissing Matrox's Ass with their review.  It rated the card dead last on most tests!


I can't wait to see what the really tough reviewers will say. :hammer:
