Bugeye technologies

So Matrox is still pushing the Parhelia as a gaming card? It's so funny i almost shat my self. Reading that I got the same feeling as when i read articles about S3 proclaiming it self to be the market leader in graphics technology.

If Matrox had put this on their "Creative professionals" or "Corporate" sections of their website I would had understood it, but, well, they didn't.

IMO, there's nothing wrong with marketing Parhelia as gaming card also. It has been the only card to provide Surround Gaming ever since it became out...

I can't really understand, why ATI/NVidia haven't done this already. Is it too difficult for them or is it just that they don't care??

2nd option.
1. After buying their state of the art card, you won't have much money left for extra monitors
2. AFAIK no card is currently able to do it in triple DVI (digital)

Except that they don't have DX9 drivers (except the beta, which is also the last), no longer fix bugs that affect games, and even the games it does run, run slowly.
