    Matrox TripleHead2Go



    Anyone saw this one coming?
    And it seems this thing can do surround gaming on typical Nvidia/ATI cards...so it seems not only in video editing Matrox product uses 3D power of another card.
    Goodbye new consumer chip/card/Parhelia2?

        Untill other companies start making native surround gaming capable cards, it does not look like a bad option.. any word on pricing?

          Looks damn sweet !
          it might help them to put some cash in the coffers, and if the quality is there, ..i want one, anyway!

          Damn, 3 TFT's for gaming, and not having to rely on having 'this' or 'that' GPU.

          Triplehead made universal, brought to the masses. But no need to buy a Parhelia, or a PCI card, and the PCI bus..
          Whats the price of 3 17" LCD's these days...

            Very nice product, indeed!

            Imagine two high-end NVIDIA/ATI cards in SLI/CrossFire mode and three monitors..

              This is very interesting. I look forward to the reviews in a couple of weeks.

                          fun with math (bet you didn't know cats could do math eh?)

                          ok, here is how i see this according to my current setup:

                          2x LG 19" LCD (same as the one i already got) $400 each
                          1x TH2G $300
                          total sold: $1100 before tax
                          total net megapixels(for 3xLCD): 3.9 + saround gaming

                          on the other hand

                          1x Dell 24" ultrasharp: $1200
                          total sold: $1200 before tax
                          total net megapixels(2xLCD): 3.6!!!

                          at $300 the TH2G seems to give you a lot of bang for your buck.

                            Good to see they are using their r+d budget cleverly!

                              True, but if this catches on, how long before someone else produces a sub $100 version?
                              Or would a multiple display external adapter be protected by copywright laws?
