Maybe Matrox should use S.O.E. / Verant's Everquest response to bugs that will never will be/can't be fixed : "It's working as intended."
If they've got tens of thousands of Parhelia chips waiting to be sold, it's probably gonna be a long time before they get around to making new ones.

what about people who bought a "professional" graphics card and have received poor support for known defects, horrifically sub-par performance *and* drivers with issues that do not get fixed on a regular basis?Originally posted by Goc
Well... Not everyone should feel happy. Only people that want to see a nextgen Matrox product, or people that like Matrox for what they used to be, or people that simply want another player alive in 3D market...

I just wish the whiners would relax just enough to be able to pull the stick out of their sphinkters, and get on with life.
i have to say the same thing is Wombat: "My Parhelia + 3D = banding, period."
in fact, i tend to have issues beyond banding when 3d is running."And yet, after spending 20+ years trying to evolve the user interface into something better, what's the most powerful improvement Apple was able to make? They finally put a god damned shell back in." -jwz

Yes..."this tripe" again.
I am thouroghly sick of the constant whining around here lately.
This is the Matrox Users Resource Centre, not the Matrox Crybaby Playpen.
Yes, the issue exists. Nobody is denying that.
Everyone here knows it. There is no reason to pine on about it non-stop.
If it's so bad that you can't live with it, return the card, and move on with life.
You don't need to continually come around here crying about it.
For god's sake, it's a video card. It's not like your child was born with a debilitating birth defect.

Lets focus on the good things about the Parhelia instead.
Lets see... it's a nice looking PCB, the memory layout is aesthetically pleasing, it works nice with DVI displays...

This will probably help Matrox to emty their stock of Parhelia's.....
Let's hope they get more OEM deals, I think Matrox realy could need the $$Comment

Is there something like digital CRT's? That would be great for a parhelia too

Yes there are (rare) digital CRT's with their own DAC. IIRC Greebe has one.DM says: Crunch with Matrox Users@ClimatePrediction.netComment

don't see the benefit as it would still use the analog out on the P...hence the banding problem... but there's a way...Comment

Nope. They would use the digital out from the parhelia and use their own DAC to convert to analogue for the guns in the tube. You just wouldn't get 10bit colour to work I guess.DM says: Crunch with Matrox Users@ClimatePrediction.netComment
