Matrox lost MY trust year ago. At that time I got this nice 20" (1600*1200 true resolution) LCD display for work. For it I decided to get Matrox card (550 I think) with DVI output, cause I knew that Nvidia is weak on 2D and Radeon drivers were bad for Win2k (my previous was radeon) ..
Installing etc went fine BUT I never got this card to work as expected.. With oldfashioned Analog VGA it worked 1600*1200 quite nicely, but I wanted to use DVI cause it's better with LCD. BUT.. i never worked anything better than 1200*900 (or so) ... :-o :-?
After LONG hunt of datasheets etc I finally found that while their card is quite capable of displaying all imaginable resolutions on Analog, but digital output it was castrated. :evil:
And now.. after reading Parnhelia performing so badly especially such high-price card. I see no interest to them anymore. They were Great once (hey.. original Millenium was killer), and they may well return one day. But at the moment they are nothing but a memory of what once was.. :-(
