pick one

[WaR-ped]

after seeing one of the news clips claiming how matrox is trying to pack a lot of features and still sell their next product at a good price, a thought came to me. What would y'all rather have:

1)card with cool features and performed mediocre and is priced mediocre-ly
2)card with cooler features and stellar performance with a higher price to reflect this.

Out of these two options only, which are you more likely to go for?

no question in my mind, number 2 all the way.

i will only go for the best of the best.
option 2 all the way..

No. 2 !

I think it depends. Most of us Matrox Users have flash monitors, and dont mind spending more money on a good Video card.

If I only had a 15 or 17 inch monitor, then option1.

As I think most of us have 19, 20, 21 inch monitors, I would say option2.

Playing at 800X600 on a 17 inch monitor looks the same as 1024X768 on a 21 inch (more or less). That means to get high quality output, we need 1280 at playable frame rates. That means a fast video card.

Im personally an option2 person, but I can see how most people are option1 people.

I can also see that Matrox will make more money off option1, as turn over will be MUCH higher. Nvidias best selling video card at the moment is the TNT M64 from what Ive heard. That must tell you something.

I *only* have a 17 inch Eizo monitor, but I'd still pay for a better card.

Option two for me too. :-)

#2 mixed with #1, I would like a card faster than a Geforce6, but still cheaper than a Kyro2.

#2.

Why do it half-assed when you can go all the way?

[xortam]

I'd go for #2 but I don't think the next-gen card will be profiled as either of your survey cards.

I think the next matrox card would go perfectly with my nice 19".

I cant for the life of me imagine Matrox to produce a card (however cheap it might be) with worse performance than my G400Max.
