Sharky Extreme heeft een review in elkaar gedraaid waarin de (eindelijk normaal leverbare) Matrox G400 32 Mb wordt getest. De Matrox wordt vergeleken met de Guillemot Maxi Gamer Xentor 32 TNT2 Ultra (wat een naam...) die het meest in de buurt komt wat betreft specificaties, prestaties en prijs.
Het resultaat is zeer goed voor de Matrox:
The G400 32MB delivers impressive performance, especially considering the fact that it's clock is lower than both the Xentor 32 TNT2 Ultra and Voodoo 3 3000 we've compared it to in these charts. In 1024 x 768 at 32bit color the G400 is less than 1 fps slower than the powerful Xentor 32 board, considering that the G400 ICD is still in development and the fact that the Xentor has somewhere around 30% higher clock this no doubt tells us a little something about the G400's capabilities. In every benchmark we ran, the G400 delivered comparable performance to both the V3 3000 and the Xentor 32. In 32-bit, at times the G400 was even faster than the Xentor 32, the V3 was left out of the 32bit race due to being unable to render in 32bit color depths. In Direct 3D the G400 was very impressive, delivering highly playable frame rates at 1024 x 768 and above with very little performance loss in 32bit modes. Games like Drakan, Motorhead and others looked dreamy and played smoothly.
Verder trapt Sharky een paar open deuren in wat betreft de beeldkwaliteit en de onvolprezen Dual-Head functie.
