Gamers Depot Reviews Parhelia with Newest Drivers

" While most of the press in the world went live with reviews on June 25th, we decided to wait. The reason? The “final” 225 drivers were so full of bugs (even doing random Blue Screens of Death under WinXP) that we spent the weekend of June 22nd-23rd on the phone with the team at Matrox going through these issues so they could identify them and get us a new set of drivers ASAP. I wasn’t convinced that we were seeing the cards true potential performance while using drivers that not only crashed our test system, but also had severe issues under such popular games like Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and Jedi Knight II."

Now you guys can rest assured that you have read an honest review with the launch drivers and not some prereleased betas.
