Bij Sharky Extreme is een review te vinden van de Matrox Marvel G400-TV. Deze videokaart heeft naast een TV tuner en TV out allemaal geinige video editing en digitizing hardware features aan boord. Met de nieuwe TurboGL drivers van Matrox presteert hij ook nog eens erg goed in games. Check alle info over dit kaartje hier.
The Marvel uses the standard .25 micron G400 graphics chip clocked at 125MHz. A 128-bit memory bus runs to 16MB of SGRAM clocked at 166MHz giving a 250 megapixel peak fill-rate. A 300MHz RAMDAC gives extremely crisp and clear images as well as the ability to draw 2D screen resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 in 16.8 million colors at 85Hz as well as 3D screen resolutions up to 1600x1200 in 16.8 million colors. We were unable to get the Marvel to work in 3D at 1600x1200 in 32bit color. We believe this limitation is due to the Marvel's 16MB of RAM. Hardware DVD acceleration and bump mapping as well as AGP 2X and 4X are all supported. A second CRTC combined with the special Marvel connector and Marvel connector box gives the Marvel its famous Dual-Head feature where, in addition to drawing the image to your main screen, it can draw a mirrored or different image to a TV monitor. All in all, the Marvel's features really knock down the competition. So how fast is it? What about TurboGL? Read on…
