Matrox's Parhelia - A Performance Paradox

Once again we organized the graphs first by image quality and then by performance.

94.4The GeForce4 pulls ahead of the competition here but the lead is definitely not as great as it once was.
|
For the first time throughout this entire review we finally see the Parhelia earning its pay, as it came out ahead of the Ti 4600 while looking much better with its 16X FAA.
|
We see a similar pattern under dm-antalus, the Parhelia is close under 640x480...
|
...and is able to outperform, ever-so-slightly, the Ti 4600 at 1024x768. This phenomenon makes a lot of sense since at higher resolutions the Parhelia's AA engine has to work on a smaller percent of pixels whereas more inefficient full scene AA algorithms must work on many more pixels (anti-aliasing edges vs. anti-aliasing everything, you get fewer jagged edges at higher resolutions thus Matrox's engine doesn't work as often at higher resolutions).

Wonderful! I am glad that you shared about the performance of Matrox's Comeback Kid which I choose https://www.researchwritingking.com/review-bestdis... for students. It is always good to see the performance of any kind of product before using it. Thanks for sharing.jasonstatham - Friday, March 4, 2022 - link
Thank you for sharing this kind of content with us as I was thinking about switching from NVIDIA to Matrox to maximize the performance as I also work as a freelance video editor for businesses and as a full time I work as a cheap website content writer UK to help startups to create attractive and engaging content which can rank above the competitor. If you want instant help from more certified and qualified writers you can get from British Blog Writers and also follow their website (https://www.britishblogwriters.co.uk/content-writi... or contact them by phone which is also included in the website.
