I have Millenium G450 dual head 16Mb cards fitted to my PCs. I use the cards in 'single' monitor mode. My question is all 16Mb of memory available to the allocated single monitor, or is it only 8Mb because it is a dual head card? I'm not able to run a piece of software that requires 16Mb of...

I installed a G450 on my BX chipset based Win2000 pro system- but it only works in safe mode- or svga after I uninstall it in safe mode- once I reboot the screen goes black after the os loads and the keyboard stops responding as well (no caps or num lock lights) I have the latest drivers but not...

The videocard in question is G450 AGP Low Profile, the OS is Windows XP Home SP2. The card is working fine in 2D. But when I tried to launch Unreal Tournament (1999 version, not UT2003/UT2004) the game told me I don't have 3D Acceleration. The utility DXDiag told me the same thing. The driver I use...

I just bought a new (to me, I think) Matrox G450. I installed it in my computer, plugged two monitors into it and started up the computer. Both of my monitors started flashing and then eventually just went black. The computer kept booting, but I couldn't see anything on the screen. I turned off...

I have the Matrox G550 graphics card and when I ran Inter Explorer 6 on my previous Win98 system I always saw the Matrox logo rotating on the top right corner of IE6 when it was loading pages. Since I changed from Win98 to WinXP I know longer see this icon, only the WinXP icon which is 1) way too...

Does this card have onboard decoding? Also, anybody know the clock speeds on these cards.

Although I have installed the latest BIOS and drivers for my Asus P4PE, I still cannot get my G550 to work in AGP mode. I'm using Win2K, SP4. What am I doing wrong? All help appreciated. Terence --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system...

I know I'm wishing here, but... P4 @ 3Ghz and a gig of memory with a 16meg Matrox G550 card. Doom3 won't start claiming drivers aren't providing the needed functions. This is configured for dualhead with independent resolutions. Secondary display given only enough memory to run 32bit 1280x1024 @...

I'm using Matrox G550 PCI version with dual view support. My kernel is 2.6.18-1.2798 from Fedora Core 6. lspci show me only one BusID: PCI:2:0:0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics.... I can't see two BusID from lspci (like 2:0:0 and 2:4:0 or something like that) and if I enable Screen...

I have two computers that require 1.5V AGP graphics cards, but only one of the two G400s I have meets that requirement. I've been thinking of getting a G550 for my main computer so I can transfer the AGP 4X G400 in it now to my second computer (it's currently using the motherboard video, which...

I put a USB2 board in my daughter's PCI bus and it crashed the video. I took the new USB card out and the video still didn't work, but after I turned the computer off and on a few times it started working again. Then I put the USB2 board into my own computer, to see if it would crash the video. ...

Hello, Using Matrox G550 and two monitors for image editing. Left little monitor for editing tools. Right big monitor for image full screen editing. By a wrong design of a software package (Nikon Capture 3.51) I have to set the more little "tools" monitor as the primary monitor. It is the only...

Hi, I'm about to order a new PC, and where I live I have the choice of either a G550 or a P650 card. There's no 450 or 400 models, and anything above the P650 is out of the question budget-wise. I've seen comparisson charts which show different numbers but I'm worried of either spending too much...

I'm interested in feedback. Currently using a G550 DVi with an NEC MultiSync monitor - would I gain anything by moving to a Parhelia or maybe a P650/750 series. I'm not into playing games or multiple monitors. Just looking for the best 2D. Maybe even changing from Matrox. Any input...

I'd like to get a low-profile G550 PCI (AGP is not an option with the HTPC I have to work with). The idea config would be to run a DVI-connected flat panel at 1200x1024 **and** run Svideo/NTSC to the TV set. I'd be using PowerDesk to lock the media player to the TV out in full-screen mode. Is...

What card would be the fastest 2D card . G550 or Nvidia 5600 or 5700 ultra.

My wife just bought a Dell 9100, with an ATI Radeon X300 SE HyperMemory card with 128 MB memory. We also have a Matrox G550 lying around (it was supposed to go into her old computer). Is there any reason to replace the ATI card with the Matrox? Her main needs are (i) text editing, and (ii)...

Dear All I have just purchased a G550 and a TFT (Compaq 1520). I would like to use the tft in portrait mode, but I cant seem to get the G550 to allow me to rotate the screen. Is there any way of accomplishing this? Many Thanks Andrew

I just set up two monitors on this pc for the first time. Using a 19" 1280x1024 LCD through DVI cable as main monitor, and a 19" CRT set to 1280x960 as secondary. Dual monitoring is set to use "separate resolution and color palettes...etc", but I can't find any tab for adjusting colors for the...

Has anybody else seen this - or can confirm that it works for them? I have two DVI monitors connected to the dual G550-DVI cable. Under W2K, everything looks good. But, in text mode, e.g. booting-up, I get a scrunched up screen that shows about the top half, very distorted. The same monitors...
