Just received my P750

[CuEdge]

Just noticed that my retail p750 came with no product manual. I am not a person that usuallu needs the manual, but all my previous matrox cards came with a product manual.

BTW: I have taken some pictures of the board, but I'm unable to attach it to a message on this board...

Send them to me, I'll upload them to my webspace if you want

Is that Samsung memory 3.3ns?

[CuEdge]

I'm now running the p750 on my old computer. A P3-800 with 256mb SDRAM. Just couldn't wait any longer...

Now I would like to run some benchmarks to see how it performs. If it performs better than my good and trusty G400MAX I will be satisfied. Any suggestions of good 2D/3D benchmarks (not 3dmark)?

[Fluff]

What was the top right of the pcb going to be used for ?

P750 MAX? Looks like loads of small chips and capacitors are missing. maybe when they go to .13 micron they will release a highly clocked version.

[Sasq]

Thats just space for filtering caps (power) and a few inductors. Relax

Yeah, I wouldn't count for P750MAX

Maybe people at Matrox concluded that in the final release version things that were in this place aren't needed.

Anyway, not much of a difference if all is working good.

[Sasq]

Thats actually quite common. rule with engineering is desing it with everything, then see how many components you can remove before it stops working.. less components = cheaper production cost

[CuEdge]

Does the P750 support hardware displacement mapping and would it be possible to run the reef demo on it?

[Kurt]

BTW, the P650 is scheduled for delivery _after_ the P750. It should be available soon.

hey, big cap's, parhelia didnt have any did it?

[Fluff]

Probably a more quality / clever design team. The Parhelia board is a work of art.

[William]

The Parhelia used Tants, rather than electrolytics.
Basically:
Cost of Tantalum>Cost of electolytic
Having my boss whine about new motherboards power supply cuircitry has burned some of these things into my mind

Hi,

Can you please check with powerstrip & tell us about the core & memory clock speeds?
