The thing is, the V3 sucks. It is flat out a sorry 2d board (performance
wise) and anyone with a Matrox board who has used a V3 can tell you this.
I've done tons of X 2d tests against slower Matrox systems and have come to
the conclusion that this card is the bottleneck in any video performance
test. I just wish i had the money to get a better one. You should be able
to get 50-60MB/s with the V3, I don't believe you can get more. Maybe on
those 1.33Ghz t-bird systems but i doubt it. If you have 200 bucks burning a
hole in your pocket, get a matrox video card, I have never heard anyone who
did go "I should have stuck with my V3, this was a waste of money"
Oh well, if you want something that just gets you from point a to point b,
the V3 is nicely supported in X but then if that's all you cared about, you
wouldn't care about this thread. 50-60MB/s with avifile is pushing the V3 to
it's max, if you're looking to get those 200MB/s range results get a card
that can handle it, it's not the motherboard's fault. Although, what in the
world would use 200MB/s or even 50-60MB/s for that matter.
