VigilAnt Rant and Some Observations

Peter, they're not going to give an official answer. Matrox's official policy is that the people with problems are ignorable, and that the issue will go away entirely. The work on a fix for current Parhelias was halted.

don´t they realize that this, more than the banding itself, will hurt their reputation badly.

having faulty hardware is one thing, but screwing their costumers is alot worse!
the reason why I bought matrox hardware to begin with, was because I trusted their support.

maybe pitou will be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it will take alot more than good hardware to rebuild the costumers trust!

heck, there are still people who boycott matrox because of their g200 opengl fiasco, and that is many years ago, then imagine how long it will take people to forget this.

Thanks Wombat for providing a nice example of that what makes me yawn

I even bet that a lot of sales people at Matrox feel ashamed of their company that there still is no official statement on this banding issue. Imagine having to sell and promote a product knowing it has unsolved issues...

Oh dear.

Did I unwillingly start something?

They already did make a statement. They said it was NORMAL.

Edit: I'm trying to back this up, but can't find the quote. I remember it quite well, because my draw dropped to the floor when Haig posted it. I've checked both the MURC forums and the Matrox forums, and that statement seems to be gone.

This hurts. Whoever at M that's running this show better get his/her head out of his/her arse soon and admit that there indeed is a bug, or they will never see a penny coming from me again.

[GNEP]

Is there anyone left to run this particular show? Or has the last out turned off the lights?

To tell you the truth I bet MGA is just about done....just wait till you see what the future holds....you'll be sick

I hope someone else picks up their ball and runs FAST with it

Seems like alot of u have given up hope on just rumours, no matter how much inside info they have, they are still just rumours until posted by matrox. i have had the millenium, mystique220,g200,g400max, and parhelia, not one time owning those did i ever wish tohave another competitors card. hopefully this will continue to the future.

[K6-III]

I will wait and hope....

I have been EXTREMELY HAPPY with Parhelia....and Pitou is the only card beyond it worth my time and $$$

[3dfx]

I agree with K6 and if I had the choice again I would still go for a Parhelia We just need some new info

Trust me MGA is more ****ed up then you can Imagine right now...you'll see

don´t get me wrong, I will eat my words the second matrox, actually do something about this bug, I just think it is kinda suspicious that it hasn´t been fixed yet.
like they are not prioritizing the bugfix high enough!
