Just over 2 months have passed since the official launch of NVIDIA's Geforce4, and while it seemed like every man and his dog was waiting to get their hands on one of these lightning fast cards, there was still a significant percentage waiting for something else - the Quadro4. It doesn't surprise me that a lot of people can't differentiate between the two very different graphic markets that exist, i.e. professional and desktop, and how they insist on using 3D and gaming benchmarks to compare performance of the two. The facts are, not everybody is interested in raw 3D horsepower, but are concerned a great deal more with image quality, features, functionality and 2D performance. Matrox was pushed out of the desktop market quite some time ago, and they have since been supplying the 2D workstation, business and video editing markets quite comfortably. Now it is NVIDIA's turn to take a bite out of the apple with their latest line of professional multi-display graphic cards, the Quadro4 NVS series.
