Suggestions guys?

Yes, I asked. It's something SPECIFIC to the G4xx Matrox that screws with the UAD-1. I got this directly from the Intel guy for Universal Audio.Durk wrote:By the way Devon, are you sure that the G550 will not have any problems with the UAD-1? The G550 is pretty similar to the G450...
Such as....?husker wrote:Well there is a reason the Matrox cards are more expensive...the DO look better. It's not just RAMDAC speed that determines that, so be prepared for some quality loss if you move away from Matrox.
cheers.
That's what I was looking for! Thanks!husker wrote:QUALITY! Same reason 24/96 converters don't all sound the same....
You've said yourself it your Matrox looks good, just don't expect every card with the same RAMDAC 'spec' to look the same.
Matrox call it:
UltraSharp Display Output technology:
- Highest quality output with 10-bit gamma correctable DACs
If you really want to read about the difference, this covers it...once again (as with audio) it's all about the filters!

Aren't the filters irrelevant when using the digital out (DVI) of a video card?husker wrote:QUALITY! Same reason 24/96 converters don't all sound the same....

I will be using the analog outs though.Durk wrote:Aren't the filters irrelevant when using the digital out (DVI) of a video card?

I am, with 15 pin analog. I didn't want to forego the expense of DVI card and DVI flatplanels. I got the flatpanels almost a year ago for $399 each for 17"-ers. It was a nightmare researching down to 17", good price, and good quality with no dead pixels.Durk wrote:Ah I see!
