User Reviews for Matrox Matrox Millennium G550 Dual DVI

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Nothing out of the ordinary for this century

  Weaknesses: $104 for a 32mb card in 2007? The card probably cost $104 when it came out 7 years ago, very outdated.

  Overall Evaluation: Be sure to shop around, you can get an ok gaming card with between 256-512mb memory for under $100 and most if not all newer cards have multiple display capabilities. Go with NVIDIA or ATI, they have generic manufacturers make the same exact cards as their brand named ones for lower prices and sometimes overclocked! Don't waste your money on this overpriced dinosaur!!!!!!

  Strengths: Stellar performance when used for it's intended application: Multiple monitors for CAD and business applications.

  Weaknesses: Absolutely none, when used within it's design parameters.

  Overall Evaluation: I have an Engineering / design / drafting business. I have thirty-four of these cards in several brands and models of computers. My experience with this card is considerable. Downtime equals significant dollars out of my pocket per minute. I use this card because of it's extremely high quality 2D imaging, and because it is absolutely the most reliable product I can buy ... at any price. When I hear gamers complain about the G550, I know it is because they are mis-applying it. The G550 is designed specifically for 2D business applications, and is not for use in a 3D gaming environment. So... You game-playing brothers out there, don't you be dissing this fine hardware because of your inadequate technical knowledge.
