From that site:
Our benchmarks were run twice in every resolution. The triple mode of 1600x1200 did not work because each display has a limited resolution of 1280x1024(3840x1024). The following table shows that in high resolutions the card shows a noticeable slow down. In comparing 640x480 to 1280x1024 on triple head there¡¯s no doubt that the fun of enthusiasts and hardcore gamers that Matrox has targeted is spoiled

Isn't Matrox normally associated with high end graphics and development/2D image quality and not hardcore gamers? Isn't the whole poin tfor quite a lot of 2D work that can be viewed zoomed on one monitor and normal on another (just to give an example)

Pariah is the derogatory name for Matrox's latest effort at 3D (like Mistake for Mystique) :)

Matrox is promoting the card for it's "Surround Gaming" feature which sadly is virtually unuseable on a three year old game due to poor performance.
