Matrox adds support for new video cards
Matrox just sent us an announcement that they have validated the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT and HD 2600 XT display cards for both the RTX2 and Axio. This is great news, as we have had several customers ask about this.
Choosing the right video card to be paired with the Matrox capture cards is very important. Much of the 3D manipulation and filtering is now handled by the video card instead of the CPU or the Matrox I/O card. Having the right video card can make a huge performance difference.
