    true...but hey...u have to give maxtor a hand though...after being outta the game for quite some time they took the effort and money and try and get back in the industry...so its more like a test and see wut happens kinda thing...to see wut the customers will react to it...

    GOOD JOB MATROX!!!

    Like many have said already, we will have to see the reviews. I am not sure how popular this card will be with the people who already have a gf4 as i would think that most will wait for a full dx9 part but who knows. I think it is great to have more competition in the market, it can't really hurt but it can sure help.

    I think it'll be very much that, especially with the triple head but the NV25 and NV30 might leave it behind.

    Before you buy one, MAXIMUM PC REVIEWED one in there latest mag.! There 3dmark score was only in the 7000s. But the ability to RUN 16X FSAA all the time with little performance hit is AMAZING! Check it out before you go out and get one. MAXIMUM PC reviewed a BETA card with BETA drivers......... I was impressed to say the least, but Im at least going to wait for the R300 to be released before I deceide what card to pick up!

    I saw the article, with 16xFAA and AF on (eye candy on), I remember it scores above Ti4600 that's right?
    I'm sure that 7000-7500s is explained cause Haig (Matrox technical support) said this was a preview card with lower clocks and beta drivers. So I think it can hit 9K when official card launches with some mature drivers.
    The point is that when everything is turned on, Parhelia saws its real power even in a beta stage( according to Maximum PC article), so I'm already excited about it.
    Hope it can give quality TV-out.
