Yeah, that's the seller I bought my card from. The card came quick and works in my second PC right now. Not all ebayers are bad, there are a lot of small legitimate companies and mom&pop operations that sell their stuff through ebay.

17.95 Buy It Now + $7.95 shipping = $25.90...deal posted is for $24.99 shipped. Of course if you got it at the starting bid of 9.99 you're golden.

Edit: NM...saw the "FREE SHIPPING WITH BUY IT NOW" note

this card is excellent for TV out (svideo or composite) on a htpc. The quality of tv out is much better than that on my 9600pro. You need to get a vga to svideo dongle to be able to do that .

Anybody know how much difference there would be between this and a Matrox P6650 for a video editing computer (using Adobe Premier Pro 1.0 and a Matrox RTX.10 hardware accelerator card)?

Wow

Classic card brings back memories.

For you yougsters, gather around and hear a tale of a graphics card with horible 3D but ground breaking affordable multimonitor support and the purtiest 2D picture you can imagine!

If this was the hard to find PCI version it would be incredibly hot.....

I use the P650 and the RTX.10 with Premier Pro 1.0 and they work well, but the G450 and G550 don't have the horsepower to handle it. The advertised G450 only has 16MB of memory, and it's not enough.

I don't see WinXP supported on the Matrox page. Any problem with compatibility when using WinXP?

 

[zinkpig]

no compatibility problems with xp at all. matrox is very prompt with drivers. and they are rock stable too

No, it works fine with XP. No drivers for 2003 though, which means no overlay support

too bad it's not pci

What do you guys think of this ($16 shipped):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em&category=40160&item=5167232159&rd=1

But he does have a lot of negative feedback.

First, the seller is in Canada, good for Canadians, bad for US folks. Second, the card in the picture is G400, not G450 as the seller claims.

 

[mshan]

May I ask why it is bad for US folks (shipping costs are only $6, though it may take some time to arrive).

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

That Ebayer just confirmed that all of his video cards are indeed G450, but that he simply recycled an old picture.:

I purchased one yesterday before waiting for replies here and I guess I got lucky this time.

He seemed like a straight up guy in his response, but I obviously won't be able to confirm this until I actually get the card (which could be a couple weeks).

Anyways, seems like a good price, but, as always, caveat emptor.

solid 2D performance...
