Reviews!

[m00!]

Here are two reviews I just found:

Chip.de

HWzone

Albeit not a totally gamer minded card, I am a bit dissapointed with some scores, hopefully new drivers will fix any issues and make the card better like the Radeon lines original flaws, time and more reviews will tell!

EDIT: Links fixed, sorry about that!

First one has been posted already and the second one doesn't seem to work.

Second works for me, where was the first one posted? Did not see it sorry.

The HWInfo review doesn't tell much of anything, considering they didn't do any of the tests with AA, or give any details of the makeup of the tests, etc.. it's always good to throw out quicky benchmarks without giving any details of settings involved.

Umm,

My that AA screenshot thingy looks reeeeeeeaaallly familiar

Hmmmm??

The Chip.de Rewievis good for Parhelia!

Heise.de says to much money for the speed.
They are disappointed!

Let's see, how others rate it....

Yeah. At the Chip.de, the focus is on how good the Matrox is at presenting the grafics. Chip stats that the speed is good enough to play any game smothly. He then presents a Gallery of images, in witch the Parhelia wins at every turn.

Although i never play games and P512 isn't quite a game card i'm very very sceptical and dissapointed with the benchtest results. Even synthetic bentchtest found it slower than Radeon and GF.
I really don't know what it can do with professional 2D/3D apps but i'll delay my preorder.

The HWzone review is rubbish.

It's in hebrew and starts with:

The Matrox's Parhelia is disapointing, exclusive test results have been sent to us for the next card ..."

Bla bla bla, it's a review based on Tom's

OK, 3DC-review is up (in German, once more):

LOTS of bugs in all tested games but Dungeon Siege . . . eek. But good FAA quality, if a tad slow.
