Best DualHead Vid Card?

[scarfase99]

I had the Matrox G450 16mb AGP OEM Card, which worked great! My favorite feature was using the 2nd Display on my TV & being able to watch a DIVX movie on my TV while still checkin e-mail, etc. on my computer. This is something that my GeForce3 cannot do. So i know i love that feature, so what card(s) are the best with that feature. I've heard lots of good things about the Matrox G400 Max. What else has this feature & what kind of performance do they have with movies/games/etc?

thanks

I have the G400 MAX - if you want a 2D business card which has the dual head feature you can't go wrong with the G400 Max.

However, if you want to use it as an all purpose card (applications and games) when I wouldn't go for a G400 Max. Performance in older games such as Counter Strike is fine, however in modern games such as Medal Of Honour the frame rates are only usable if you know down the detail options. Certain new games (Renegade and Serious Sam 3 come to mind) wont run at all.

Wait for a geforce 4. It supposed to have amazing dual head, and awesome 3d. + their native DVD software.
