Performance-wise, I'm going to take a wild guess that they'll be a little slower than Parhelia on current games, but with the fewer pipelines they won't keep up with Parhelia as games get more graphically complex.
On an entirely unrelated note, are Matrox going to reverse their attitude towards Free/Open-Source software support? Somehow I doubt it
those asking questions listen to the right places, new core, banding gone, agp 8x ,wont overclock well and why would you want it to? this card is going to be no match for parhelia because its basically half the card, half the pipeline half the memory size/bandwidth, passive cooling on the p650, they are G450 and G550 type hardware not for gamers but for business professionals. i would say no faa or aniso in there either to save on die space. these will be bug free cores designed for business use. however what it does show is that if matrox were ever to get rid of there parhelia cores it should be straightforward to produce a banding free parhelia, wheather or not they ever will or anyone would want one by then is another question entirely.
is a flower best picked in it's prime or greater withered away by time?
Talk about a dream, try to make it real.

perception is very important.
it's a bugfree TH piece of HW at less than 250€. you didn't buy a P for speed anyway. it's the right product for some customers I have that need cheap multimonitor HW. I can't possibly sell them sth with the banding issue...
Are the PCBs blue or green now? On the Matrox site, they're green, but that shade of blue is really beautiful. Not that it'd matter much for the intended target market
