Still those results really do concern me. I have no problem to get better results with my Radeon8500 (on a worse CPU), even the Radeons 4x Quality FSAA results are higher than the Parhelia FAA 16x ones.
And the 4x quality FSAA on the R8500 is just too slow to be of much use in newer games, so that means if those Parhelia drivers are not really early alpha ones, that the 16x FAA won't cut it.Comment

I saw those benchmarks in the latest issue of MaximumPC and I just had to laugh my ass off. They even state that they are beta benchmarks on earlier hardware using early drivers and people still take them too seriously.
If you look around you will see that most of us beta testers are running the Parhelia with 16xFAA always ON and we love it.
JoelLibertarian is still the way to go if we truly want a real change.

If Matrox wanted to shine on the FPS scene they would have done a card that beats all others in 3D Marks and would have published it. What guys on the other forum forget is that card is about to do anything pro guys want it to do. I know a few of them, they will NEVER buy ATI because their driver suck big time (and ATI is not really working on it) nor would they buy nVidia because of their poor quality PLUS their poor driver. Matrox never wanted the FPS crown and will never chase it because they do have what's more important than anything else : professionalism. Go try to ask ATI or nVidia when you a have a problem with a card... well try to get an answer first. I want quality in all degrees, acceptable speed, premium service and alot of features. Obviously I'll go for Matrox. We can't compare apples with peers so lets not compare companies that do not play on the same ground.Let those who want to be simple, be simple.Comment

3DMarks don't mean shite. The score in that program bears no linear correlation to the Parhelia's performance in QIII-Arena or UT, with or without FAA-16x.

It would be blind stupidity to buy a card only based on the sole score of 3DMark. Yet ppl still do it.
Those of you who can get dealer prices should check the dealers, some of those are already taking pre-orders. Although they only have bulk version.Let those who want to be simple, be simple.Comment

I'll think I might return the Radeon 8500 and put through my PreOrder...Let us return to the moon, to stay!!!Comment

Might as well put your pre-order in now. They don't charge until it ships (mine says mid-July), and you're only getting farther back in line.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.
