How good are they for HD video playback? That's why I requested some time ago an IGP roundup that focused more on things like: Honestly, as a non-gamer and Linux user, I'd like to see less emphasis on gaming FPS numbers, and more on how well these cards handle more office oriented tasks.While I second that request (I'm not a gamer either), I do understand that when testing discrete graphic cards from NVIDIA and ATI/AMD they look mostly at games and FPS, since those cards' only purpose (or almost) is gaming. Thanks for your work, I'll keep checking, can't wait for a review! The price points just look too good. Though video editing in Kino or some other program should also be considered and tested, to see if there's any help. Honestly, as a non-gamer and Linux user, I'd like to see less emphasis on gaming FPS numbers, and more on how well these cards handle more office oriented tasks.
So when you do test these cards, I'd love to see 2-d display characteristics looked at, esp compared (if possible) to the older classic cards which did a great job in this area. I'm still on a CRT, so razor sharp text is key, that's why I got the Matrox in the first place. The lack of any OpenGL support is really starting to hurt me, esp in such programs as Stellarium.īut still, for me, the 2-d graphics is the key issue.
I'm currently running a Matrox G450 AGP and it's showing it's age. I really don't want proprietary ones in my system if I can help it. This is good news! I'm looking to build a new system and I wanted to go with ATI cards to help support their support of OpenSource drivers.
