With an unprecedented number of groundbreaking technologies, ParheliaTM-512 takes 2D quality and 3D realism to a whole new level. " – Matrox Press Release
The card will do all of the following: Dual independent DVI-out at 1600 x 1200 resolution each (165MHz). Dual independent RGB-out at 400MHz each (dual 2048 x 1536 @ 85Hz). Triple independent RGB-out in extended desktop mode at 3840 x 1024 32bpp.
The card's price will be $399. Ouch. We’ll see if that comes down on appeal, but it's looking like a great price for a well built card. The expected ship date for the 128MB DDR version is June 30th, which is a little sooner than we were expecting. Ars should have a full review on the Parhelia in the upcoming weeks, so hang in there.
