    Marvel P750?

    Would you buy one if it existed? Hey who knows, if there is enough interest we might be able to convince Matrox to bring one out...

    No for me...

    I personally think seperate Video stuff is more appropiate. Its annoying that you have to buy another VIVO card if you want to swap a new graphics card, and still maintain that VIVO capability.

        Not me.
        Like Chrono, I think a separate card for capture is a better answer.
        That's where RT.x10 and RT.x100 come in....

          I think separate card philosophy is better, but there are manny Ati AIW owners who think otherwise.

          Pehaps a reasonably priced tuner card.

            I like(ed) my AIW 8500DV, but it doesnt seem to work anymore (couldnt check it, since I was away for a while), and it is definitly cheaper than normal card + rtX10(0). Drawback is that there is only 1 vga connector (but i cant afford a 2nd monitor at the moment anyway).

              Good they released the P-750. I need TH for work. Out of despair I was considering G550+PCI G450 (cheaper than the P). The P750 makes perfect sense to me. It's not for games anyway and costs close to half the P's price...

                Right now? Yes. I only have one Marvel card here, and that's my G200 PCI one at that. And since I needed to move that into another machine, I've lost all my video functionality. I wouldn't mind having a new Marvel right now.

                  Though the RTX.10 is nice, it doesn't come cheap! (Duh)

                  I think for the non-semi-pro (aka newbie / multi-media user), they should grab a non-VIVO card + TV card (an RRG / TV2000 XP)

                  That way, you can tweak your gfx card easier (VIVO cards are packed with TV tuners etc) and don't have to upgrade another VIVO card if your graphics card gets outdated (gfx cards grow so fast, its a matter of ~1/2 years MAX lifespan)

                  Another thing... I really want to see a "Rainbow Runner" with optional link you can connect to the gfx card for increased quality/speed. (Like the RRG, but does not force you to use it with a G400/G200)

                    I wouldn't mind Matrox making an el-cheapo (with Matrox quality) PCI TV-tuner card though...

                      That's of course assuming Matrox could ever make anything 'cheap'

                          Matrox quality? Are you sure you want that? Unless you think banding in your vid caps are a part of "high quality"

                              Thats no problem.... Banding(TM) is only on the "high-end" video cards.... Wasn't this about a cheap VIVO card?
