Anyone have one of these or used one in a system ?

I have been looking for a new PCIe x16 card

I have never used any of this companies hardware

the 3 I have looked at are
GeForce 7950 GX2 M520 1 GB DDR3 Graphics Card - Extreme Edition
GeForce 7900 GTX 512 MB DDR3 PCI-E Graphics Card
GeForce 7900 GTX 512 MB DDR3 PCI-E Graphics Card Extreme Edition

The price is Not a factor with me
BUT They must work in 2D as well as 3d
Working in 2D for Photoshop and other graphics programs is a MUST !!!
True color

I prefer to use Matrox. BUT they have very little in the X16 market
Installing a Matrox Millennium P650 PCIe 128 - isn't much of an upgrade
The 650 chip is OK BUT lacks in performance and the Matrox Parhelia doesn't support PCIe x16


I don't want something that sounds like the old Delta 50 fan

How about it anyone using these beasts ?

Never mind
I found the Matrox Parhelia APVe does in fact support PCIe x16 :)
