What graphics card works best with Matrox RT.X2LE?
Matrox RT.X2 LE technology taps into both the CPU and GPU performance of your computer so some graphics cards will work much better then others. That’s why, in the system we built for our DIY6 article, we are using the less expensive Radeon HD2600XT with Matrox RT.X2 LE. We tried using the NVidia Quadro FX1700 card and it worked without conflicts but it did not come close to the real-time GPU performance of the less expensive Radeon card. In fact, we could not match the real-time performance of the Radeon card with a Quadro FX until we installed the thousand-dollar Quadro FX 3700! Now, if you’re doing a lot of compositing and effects work in Adobe After Effects CS3 the investment in the Quadro FX3700 will be well worth it.
