Advantages: Bump Mapping, Duel Head
Disadvantages: Slower than new cards
Although 3D performance is starting to seem a little outdated with this card, I still recommend it as a good all purpose 3D and 2D card.
The card may lack speed, but it sure packs a punch when it comes to features, especially considering its age. As cheep as a Riva TNT2, its only marginally slower, but boasts the possibility to run two monitors side by side to extend your desktop.
The software and driver support from Matrox is top notch. Bump mapping is for me however the cards greatest feature. Images created using Environment Bump mapping are unrivalled, and as its hardware bump mapping, it takes it in its stride.
Overall, the G400 is a competent card. Although lacking in GPU speed, features, and image quality is superb, a great buy for someone on a tight budget.
