Matrox Millennium G400MAX Video Card Review By: Joe

Review : Matrox Millennium G400 MAX 32mb DH

Whats the Frequency Milly?

Here is a breakdown on the different speeds on the card:

RAM DAC - 360Mhz
Core - 166Mhz
RAM - 240Mhz

So in comparison to some other cards out there is is a screamer, but those numbers have been eclipsed by a few other cards in recent history. The Voodoo3 Has a higher core speed but still a slower RAMDAC.

So what does that RAM DAC thingy do for ya?? Well in 2D, at higher resolutions it delivers superior image quality and the ability to run higher refresh rates. But other then that there is only a minimal improvement in overall performance. in 2D apps.

A byproduct of these speeds are increased heat over the normal that's produced by the 300Mhz version of these cards. Therefore it requires more heatsinks and fans to keep cool and stable.  The fan matrox included was quite nice, had thermal grease and all.  It ran silent and was not sticking into the next PCI slot so that's a big PLUS.

Now that that's outta the way, lets go and talk about the incredible feature set of this card!
