tomshardware review online!

[Liquid Snake]

Well, what did you expect from THG?

[MadScot]

I, for one, was not disappointed by the review. Granted, it could be better, but it was right in line with my expectations for the tests I knew sites like THW run. I hope Ant gets his review up soon, too!

As I posted before I was disappointed, but anyway, why on earth did they use Quake3 when testing FSAA/FAA + Anistropic?

I guess the results (compared to Ti4600) will be much better with some other game?

[BuddMan]

I'm not too upset with the results. I'm wondering how this will compare to other reviews...

I'm not worried about how slow it will be (nothing that a little overclocking can't fix, hehe). I wish they would have been more in depth with the card's features....

If we are to judge the Parhelia by benchmarks and the fps,we may as well pack it in and go home.
The questions that should be asked,is the game playable(I mean do you get fragged before you can get a shot off,or can you win?)
Is the image quality very high standard and with all the eye candy turned on is the game playable?
When we judge a video card based soley upon fps,we've already succumbed to the wisdom of the unwashed.

i agree. i'm also curious to what someone else said about average FPS. i mean, it would be nice to also mention the standard deviation of the frame rate. for all i know, it could be drastically spread out from really slow to really fast.

That's a bit difficult without a card to review

I hope Ant gets his review up soon, too!

i cant get to the review times out every time.

edit: the site is gone.

At this point I am really wondering what Matrox was thinking. I know full well that they have explained that their Parhelia will be the card for tomorrow, but while it is currently not keeping pace with the current generation's GPUs, across the board, you have to wonder. Triple head gaming is not going to save Matrox this time round if what we saw is correct. I can certainly understand their reasons with not wanting to give the [H] a card at this point.

so can i ... although the review (i havent seen yet) does not look too good all kyle is looking at are FramesPS.

[Jazzz]

Kyle is actling like a real idiot over this, he thinks coz he has such a big site he should get everything first well i hoped matrox didn't give him the card so it would show his site isn't as powerfull as he likes to think

[Electric Amish]

SHIT!

It only gets 150fps in Quake 3. :|

anandtech: Tom's Hardware has posted the first Parhelia review albeit in German. But we all know that benchmark charts are the universal techie language :-) And if my geek knowledge serves me correctly, shorter bars = lower performance and the Parhelia has a LOT of those

[GT98]

Time to get this ready

[outriding9800]

kyle and tom for the longest time did not see eye to eye ( they did bury the hatchett ) and this probably just opened an old wound.
