Helllo,
A seller from a remote town is offering me a card made by Matrox. He does not know the "normal" model name, only the P/N which is G45FMDVP32DBF. He said that the card is PCI, had VGA and DVI.
The results of Google search indicate that this is some Matrox G450 PCI with VGA+DVI (like on this picture: http://www.plonter.co.il/graphics/pr...50-32-PCI.jpg). I do not know the RAM capacity but I suppose that it is 32 MB because of the P/N.
Now I have several questions:
1] Are there any quality/performance differences (except PCI vs. AGP) between this G450 and the normal G450 (GPU/RAM speed, signal quality, RAMDAC speed, TV-out funcionality, etc.)?
2] Which output is primary here - VGA or DVI? If VGA is primary, then I doubt that DVI can be used for TV-out (I have never seen a DVI -> SVHS/RCA converter). And what is the max. resolution on the DVI output?
3] Does a PCI edition of Matrox G400 exist?
4] When you would decide between regular G400 and regular G450, which one is better in criterias *other* than speed (I know that G450 is slightly slower)?
I have a quad "thanks" pack ready for those who answer all four questions.
