    Anand makes the assumption that some cards are gamers cards, says their not suitable for gaming.

    He also said Matrox are out the gaming market.

    I like his stuff generally though, it's only an opinion...and no 2 people will really agree on absolutely everything

        Neither Tom nor Anand mention anything about 2d or picture quality in any of their reviews.

        They are very good at explaining the technology behind the hardware though.

            A bit of a strange one this but I find that the more technical the reviewers, the more they seem to place emphasis on 3d speed. Its a shame they dont take the WOW factor into account.
            Wow, look at the picture quality on that!!

                So you can most qualitative but not quanitative remarks then?
                Clock speed would be nice though if nothing else .

                    To quote Greebe:

                    In the mean time you can expect verbs like, Whoa momma! or Ack!
                    __________________________________________


                    I hope it isnt "ACK!

                                                    Anyway, I think this is what we're kind of looking for... (Wow, or Ack etc)

                                                    2D Quality:

                                                    3D Performance vs mainstream cards (GF2MX etc):
                                                    OpenGL Support (I know its beta, but still):

                                                        No, the chart for the card(s) at factory settings looks like this:

                                                        Slower than G400 : Ugh!
                                                        Slower than G400MAX: Ack!
                                                        Faster than G400MAX: Wow!

                                                            how bout this:

                                                            first two as stated above
                                                            Faster than g400 max: okay
                                                            more than 30% faster than g400max: wow
                                                            more than 100% faster than g400max: they released the wrong card (at least not the one they announced)
