Matrox Parhelia Based Cards Selling in Mass! [07/14/2002 06:16 PM]

So, the graphics cards built on Matrox Parhelia-512 started selling almost in all retail hardware sores, which means that very soon we will be able to try them too.

The new solution is selling in Japan for $460-$500 (while the recommended price is $399!), which simply ruins all of its attractiveness. Remember, that in "non-professional" applications it fails to catch up even with GeForce4 Ti4200, not to mention faster modifications of NVIDIA chips (see this news story). Although, there remains the professional field, where they haven’t yet tested the notorious Parhelia-512, we don’t have much hope for the sudden victory.

By the way, the same stores, which are now selling Parhelia-512, are offering a Canopus Spectra WX25, the world’s most expensive graphics card based on Ti4600. It is stuffed with the company’s brand name features, including an excellent cooler with liquid bearings. However, it is only $20-$30 more expensive than the new Matrox Parhelia-512. And take for instance, GeForce4 Ti4200 from Palit Microsystems (DAYTONA GF4TI4200) for $160-$170. Do you need any more comments now?
