P750 now available in UK

[Taliska]

Hi all,

Wanted a Matrox P750, so asked Dabs - usual inane reply - this company's presales customer service has completed evaporated and with it much of my confidence.

So emailed Matrox-UK, who said that Microtronica 0118- 9633870 was a UK distributor so rang them to ask who they distributed to... and rang one of them (Spot-on Computers) and after they rang the distributor, I finally got a price.

£178.80 plus £7 carriage (I'm not sure whether that included vat or not - bit remiss of me not to check).

Is that a good price then? Anyone know where in the UK, it's cheaper.

Thanks all,

Taliska

Is anyone aware if the P750 still suffers from the banding issue ??

thx in advance

[Sasq]

I think it would be safe to assume that this gen does not have a banding issue.
*Please note this is a personal oppinion, and I will let you know my experiences when I get my hands on one.

P650/750 is a revised "LX" core.
The 'banding issue' has supposedly been addressed (though I don't have one, so I can't speak from 1st hand experience).

Thanks SteveC - Just ordered it from there - seems to be a very good price and every pound saved... means I can buy more kit!

Cheers, Taliska

Whats a P750?

Thanks

Been wanting a new matrox card for ages...

An office card with TripleHead, negligible 3D performance. The p650 only has DualHead.

Not everyone outside of offices wants to play 3D games!

Nobody said they do - I just wanted to make this clear

What I was merely pointing out is that it is not just an office card!
