Default Vista and Graphics - Is Matrox really that good for text? - Pleaseenlighten me

* Conor:

Well, "text quality" is equal in all gfx cards since the use of gfx card
fonts has stopped with the increasing use of graphical desktops like
Windows 3.0...

********.


What an argument. Get a clue first! Gfx card specific fonts are not used
anymore since the days of Windows 3.0...

The only thing Matrox cards were really good has been the analog signal
quality. But today with flat panels connected vie DVI this is a
no-brainer anymore, and in all other areas Matrox just sux...

Except 2D speed as they always have excelled.


What a BS. The 2D performance of all gfx cards made during the last 9
years or so is around the same. And no, even Matrox is not faster in 2D...
