Matrox Millennium G400, (16 MB) AGP Video Card

Pros: Dual-Head (Dual Monitor output without the need for an add-on card), exceptional 2D performance, excellent 3D performance, Environment-Mapped Bump Mapping
Cons: A little pricey, the early openGL drivers are weak

When we purchased the Matrox G400 at the Prince Rupert Public Library (http://www.citytel.net/library), I was 'amused' to say the least. I thought "Dual-outs (a.k.a. Dual-Head)? Sweet, but what about the rest of the card?" Not really knowing...

Pros: Excellent 2D & 3D graphics, better all around card
Cons: Pricey compared to its competition, lack of EMBM support

After years of torturing 2d graphics on my S3 Virge video card to my Intel i740, I've always dreamed of what "graphics card heaven" was like. I've read countless reviews on the TNT1, TNT2 Ultra, Voodoo3, and ATI Rage Pro's, and I...

Pros: expandibility, dual head,nice prize
Cons: not the fastest around

Since I started with Pc's, my favorite brand on VGA cards was Matrox, becoz they were the fastest 2D cards available at that time 3d didn't matter. I remember the Mystique 2M when it was just released, it was THE card to buy, now 3 or 4 years later I...

Pros: Fantastic Hardware
Cons: terrible drivers

I Ordered my G400 MAX in the beginning of summer when it was first available for pre-order, unfortunately I did not get it until the end of summer. I expected to wait for it but not the amount time that I did. Of course now I think you can get them...

Pros: Excellent Quality, Great for Games and Graphics Editing
Cons: Most Matrox products are only available directly from Matrox now ($)

The Matrox Millenium G400 excels where the G200 was lacking. Sure, I was happy with my G200 card, but it was just...okay.

The G400 cooks! The image is steady and crisp, and the 2D smokes!

For 3D, the G200 was slow in comparison...

Pros: Good Performance and Features
Cons: No TV-Out for Primary Display and Performance won't fare as well with next generation games

First of all this is a Matrox G400 review, not a G400MAX. The differences between the two cards is the MAX has a 360 ramdac for basically higher resolutions and refresh rates while the vanilla has a 300 and the MAX has a faster clock speed hence its...

Pros: graphic quality
Cons: nothing

Most games run smooth even at 1600 x 1200 res with 32 bit color and that is no surprise if you check out few of the many features this card has:

32 MB ram running at 360 MHz (G400 max)
Real Time bump mapping (only card in the market)
...

Pros: No-brainer dual monitor configuration
Cons: Limited 3Dfx/Glide support leaves some games unplayable

This card first caught my eye via the editorial content in the Imagine publications "PC Accelerator" and "PC Gamer." They consistently raved about the speed and quality of the G400 (which is important to me as I am a graphics snob...

Pros: 2D quality is outstanding, DualHead
Cons: Not the best 3D speed, drivers need a little work

Matrox has often been reputed with having some of the highest quality cards on the market. While their graphics chips may not be the fastest gaming chips that are available, their 2D image quality has long been considered exceptional and a cut above the...

Pros: good gaming card for the price, duel display
Cons: Performance doesn't top too many other cards

The Millennium G400 provides a realistic lighting effect and does a better job of keeping distant objects into view than other boards. The Matrox board provides a large software bundle including Micrografx's Picture Publisher 8 image editor and the...

Pros: Dual Head in Windows98, Environmental Bumbmapping, reasonable performance
Cons: Way too expensive, OS incompatability problems, infrequent driver updates

I have been a Matrox man for a long time, but the G400 will be the last Matrox card that I buy. Before buying my Matrox G400 MAX and Rainbow Runner G-Series I was very excited about the card. I thought it was going to be great. I read tons of tech...

Pros: Great Tech. Support, good 3d performance, reasonable price.
Cons: Windows 95/98/ME doesnt come with drivers for it.

The Matrox Millenium G400 is a great graphics card at a reasonable price.

Setting up this graphics card is very easy. Simply put the graphics card into your AGP slot and start your computer. Insert the installation CD and follow the...

Pros: performance, value, features
Cons: not the fastest 3d

I purchased the g400 for all the reasons I bought the last 4 matrox cards: great performance, great features, great value, great support.

The card is a 2d screamer and is pretty quick when it comes to 3d anyway. There's plenty of...

Pros: Crisp graphics and rich colors
Cons: Falling behind in 3D gaming

I bought the Matrox G400 video card for my own machine after very thoroughly looking at all of the competition. What I found was a video card that was very versatile, fast, and relatively inexpensive when compared to the current crop of high speed 3d...

Pros: It's perfect!!!
Cons: none

Forget about ATI's All in Wonder.. forget about Voodoos... forget about TNT2.. Matrox's Millennium G400 is the only card that can satisfy all our needs. With it's 3D and 2D performance... any games look increablie running under Matrox's...
