Hi Guys!

Hi,
I'm new to these forums but I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice as I' am interested in buying a Matrox Parhelia. This would be my First Matrox card, It's just something about Matrox I've always wanted one of their cards. I have heard variating reports of the cards performance which makes my choice more difficult so I was wondering if any of you had some good reasons or websites I could looks at some pic's etc. Oh and how does it perform in-game? as I will be using it for games as well as making websites and CAD etc.
cheers
Andy

Welcome aboard!

I've been perfectly happy with my Parhelia, as have most who have taken the time to use the card beyond running 3DMark on it.

I'd suggest looking in on another similar thread from just a few days ago:

From what I gather (I don't have the money unfortunately), Parhelia is a damn fine card. Fast enough for today's games at high resolutions with FAA on. FAA and TripleHead seem to be GREAT for gamers. There will be specialized "pro" drivers, I hear.

Be aware of a current issue with D3D apps (including games) producing corruptions. This is currently looked at by Matrox, and there should be an anwers next week. I suggest you wait until then!

So far, very happy with my P.
I'm using it for Cad/Cam, Video editing and the odd game.
It has robust drivers and as of yet I've had no problems with it whatsoever.
