Games on my new $600 gfx card

ok, why did buy a matrox ?s00kah

I've never even heard of matrox :o

I just bought myself a brand new Matrox M9140 LP quad head gfx card with 512MB of ram yesterday. I'll be using the card for runing the newest games. But I allready have a problem with the first game I tried, Crysis. It just doesn't want to start up, no matter what I do. Do I need to wait for new drivers?jernas

Matrox is not for gaming and he is seriously jacking or he is simply retarded

ROFLMAO

OK, OK I'm not retarded, I'm just kidding. I'll explain why if anyone is interested.jernas

explain why the hell u bought a crappy assed matrox that sucks for games and gets pwnd by any 7 series card, thats like that guy who thought that a 1500$ 1.5 gb GDDR3 could run crysis maxed out, well, nothin can, espetialy not a workstation gfx card

workstation cards are not for gaming for gods sakes. Think about it. Why would nVidia sell 3000$ graphics card if a normal GTX280 which is still expensive for 600$ beat it. It wouldn't make any sence. And for gaming is doesn't. It does for complex animation, architect tools and so on

I know that because i actually owned a server computer with nVidia quadro4 750XGL and i just tried gaming to see just how bad it does and it does bad. Not only you must play on bare minimum a picture on monitor that it shows is just awful in games.

Where did you buy this matrox card?

It seems to me that it is not yet available at resellers.

How long ago was this? The Quadro4 cards were all based on the GeForce4 architecture, which is pretty dated at this point. A GeForce 4 card doesn't do very well in games these days either.

We should warn people/companies before they buy one of these cards!jernas

Most didnt even know they existed until you copped a feel on their non gaming pc virgin minds.

It didn't exist until the 25th of June; matrox says the cards will be available in Q3.

Most resellers don't have this card for sale yet (at least not with a firm delivery date).

I would like to know where he bought that card, because I want this card (for non gaming purposes).

Was he simply flaming the board members?

Well I remember their lines from back in the 90's though I never bought nor considered buying one. I meant the general company which has always had cards for 2D.

I take it you do CAD work?

I think he was just trying to have fun and get reactions. Had he of said Quadro then most would know thats Nvidia's workstation card. I figure he chose Matrox because they are.. well.. they are so small that unless your looking for it you wouldnt even know what they were. Well.. Quadro, FireGL, and Matrox.

CAD and other related office work, none of which is 3D. Always worked with the matrox cards, they never failed me.

The charm of the new card is that it can cope with 4 x 1920x1200 in portrait mode with wddm drivers for WDM in Vista.

I am not 100% sure that NVIDIA Quadro NVS 440 can do this (or 2 NVS 290 or 285 cards for that matter)

The moment you wanted a Matrox, 2D niche, I thought CAD.

Overall I havent delved into the workstation cards too much. You still use CRT for your CAD?
