Matrox Parhelia Graphics Card

Strengths: 512 GPU, 128MB ram (256bitS), sourround system buit in. Pro card for Autocad

Weakness: price

The Matrox Parhelia-512 128MB Video Card is one totally amazing card that immerses you in visual enjoyment with high fidelity graphics. While not the fastest 3D gaming product on the market it has no problem running current games. Like all Matrox Video Cards they have super crisp clear text and this card really brings 2D to life with 10-bit GigaColor technology."
At last it comes with 256 bit DDR , nivida and ATI come with 128bit, which is twice slower memory including the GPU.

Matrox Parhelia Graphics Card

Strengths: Simple installation, setup. Amazing color depth. This card can handle huge Photoshop files with ease. Online support if needed.

Weakness: Absolutely none I can see. I have yet to try the triple-head mode.

Having just built my first home computer, I am completely satisfied. I have no previous experience beyond a very old Gateway, so I have to temper my comments, but from what I have read, this is an amazing card. The alleged shortfalls in 3D gaming are not evident, unless you are into shear numbers. DVD movies are sooo crisp & vivid.

Matrox Parhelia Graphics Card

Strengths: 512-bit GPU 256-bit DDR memory interface

Weakness: none

The best multimonitor and 2D support bar none!!!
Great DVD playback, pro OpenGL support, CAD/DCC certified drivers, and gaming capablity on top of that!Seriously, this is probably the only card on the market that can do all of these things so well!and of course the AutoCad drivers...and the HUGE boost in OpenGL performance that the last 1.04 drivers provide.
This card is unique it handles perfectly todays games, best of this card is sourround build in. Games sound much better with this technology.

Matrox Parhelia Graphics Card

Strengths: Matrox Parhelia 128MB * TripleHead Desktop / Surround Gaming * Video

Weakness: none

I am very pleased with this video card.
With the the sorround hardware you can feel the diffrence when playing todays games.
Also this card is very unique you can hook up, 3 monitors.
Imagine plaing games with 3 monitors at once, it would be like been inside the theter.
Also I noticed a big diffrence with 2D quality in application, comparing to Geforce3.
Thanx to 10Bit Giga color. and 512-bit GPU.
Without a doubt this card is the best on the market.
