I'm a Matrox fan (this system is running on a G450 iirc), but they don't seem to do consumer level cards any more.

Last I looked at their stuff, you're looking at fancy prices in the £K region for fancy stuff, nothing in the consumer £50-£200 range.

Cheers,
Wol

Matrox made a wrong turn many years ago: it refused to license GPU chips and produced all the cards in house. This reduced it's market reach, which in turn implied that it had not way to compete with ATI and nVidia. It's swan song wan Parhelia which was pretty cool card for video work, but was meh for gaming. And they have nothing more modern thus of course they left the consumer market.
