Interesting!
I still believe that VIA could grab a lot of sales if they had a passive low profile card with flawless HD acceleration and good drivers. Never mind gaming performance, tune the card/drivers for video playback and you have a lot of people interested for HTPCs.
well with 4 to 8 monitor support I'm guessing this is more of a workstation focused card.
but it is nice to see they are still going.

Still going an competing with Matrox now it would seem
Over integrated though?Originally Posted by Funkstar
As far as I know, none of the current integrated solutions are quite perfect anyway.
The AMD boards are great, but they manage to break one thing when they fix something else in subsequent Catalyst releases. And nVidia drivers are just unreliable from what I can gather.
Sounds like they will be trampling on Matrox's toes!
Good luck to them though, I think the only S3 board I ever owned was a S3 Virge DX...upgraded to 4MB IIRC.....damn, that must have been a while ago now....

Seriously, good luck to them - as for matrox their stuff is absolute **** anyway (I deal with the fallout of their terrible hardware/drivers everyday) so i'd be happy to see another nail in their coffin frankly.

This is really disappointing to hear. Back in the day, their drivers were rock solid, they were the first and only ones to get multiple displays working correctly, be it from a single card or multiple.
Yup, their day has been and gone - aside from driver issues they've fallen so far behind on the DX curve as to be useless on vista/7 and they keep trying to cut costs with passive heatsinks versus active ones which have cost us a heck of a lot of money on customer systems in the field as they slowly die. We're tied to them for technical reasons, but are working very hard on eliminating them from our systems this year - this will save us money, fix problems with reliability, give us better capabilities for DX/Win7 and cure some long standing bugs in our systems.
Matrox used to be a magical name - not anymore

we need another third player in the gaming cards segment really
Vodka
It wont be Intel anyway, they're too busy trying to x86ise everything in sight.

Maybe you aint the target market?
Yes, because i'm sure there's stacks of companies needing unreliable last-century tech at inflated prices in their customer's systemsWhat market do you think matrox are in thesedays if not the professional one? Gamers? Who do they sell MIL to? Ah..

Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
