Overall Review: I saw this operating at a competitor brick and mortar store and I was shocked how cool it looked! They had a way to hook three monitors to it and it rocked!!! Does anyone know anything else about this card specifically? I am wanting to buy one if it is good.

Overall Review: I use one of these at work. It’s very convenient to have three monitors going. You should be aware that since it’s dual-DVI, one of the DVI’s gets split into two analogs (you can’t run triple DVI). I run it at 3840×1024 across three 19″ black CRT’s. I believe it can handle 4800×1200, but not recommeded unless you have three 21″ screens.
This isn’t much of a gaming card. I’m sure Flight Sim would look good, but it’s much more oriented towards work. The Matrox sofware is very good and permits all sorts of setups and can control how aps deal with your monitors.

Overall Review: Exceptional Card for your Average gamer/Professional 3d MAX,MAYA,Photoshop user as well, Supports Doom3, UT2004,FlightSim2k4 etc. Im running this on 3 Sharp 19″ LCD’s @ 3840×1024. I run UT2K4 @ full res. and 120+fps. Setup is a bit harder for gaming, but is well worth it. Online Drivers are a must.

Overall Review: The Parhelia cards are excellent. They might not have the fastest performance with video games. But I feel like the ability to use the Surround Gaming feature makes up for that. I don’t play a whole lot of video games. I work as a graphic artist and I do some video editing. The Parhelia helps me alot with those tasks. I work significantly faster on three monitors than I do on one. More speed equals more money and a better reputation for me. This card will pay for itself in my case. It makes my work more exciting and enjoyable too.
