Hey all
Anybody know if there is any way to tweak this vid card?
Thanks

What do you mean by tweak ?
Nothing you can ever do to a G200 will make it fast by any standard.
The card still has great 2D, but it's 3D days are well past.

There is a Matrox tech support tweak utility - you can download it here.

But as CHHASmatroxuser said if you are looking for better 3D performance you will need to look at a different card.

Thanks
I'm just looking for good 2d at this point. This is my first attempt at any O/C and this box is just a back-up for my business (building contractor) so 2d is fine.
PS Mitzi the link doesn't work

You can find the util here.

Doh! Sorry 'bout that!

As mentioned you can overclock it a bit with that utility. It's also supposed to do AGP 2X, but mine defaults to 1X. You can force it to 2X through a registry hack, but that caused instability when I tried it on mine.

As for it not being a good card etc. it depends on what you are doing with it. Wizardry 8 just came out and it runs decent enough on the G200. Basically if you aren't going to do much 3D gaming or what 3D gaming you do isn't fast paced shooter games then it may still be fine for you.
