You can see that the cards have the same color, but some (or the majority) of the cards have different layouts. And it is somewhat arranged in the way of "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".

i'm thinking of getting a matrox g4+ with 32mb ram:
[Matrox G4+MDH4A32G 32MB Dual AGP Graphics]
can anyone fill me in on what this card is exactly? i want to see how sharp the vga picture is on my sony cpd-e220 crt. would maybe relegate it in a build to play age of empires and MS games. what would the performance be compared to current setup?

Amazing to have such a matrox collection.
though a bit sad, that no additions have been made seven years after http://2cpu.co.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=hard … are&wr_id=26652 .
and also sad that OP seems to have flown off to greener pastures.
and sad as well that I'm replying to this thread after someone necrobumped it.

What an amazing collection. I thought I had too many - I have maybe ten! Covered them in a video I made a couple years ago - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa08lCtqtzc

I used to be quite involved over on the Matrox Users Resource Centre (MURC) forums and was picked along with 3 or 4 others to beta test for Matrox back in the day so they sent me some G400, G450, G550 and Parhelia cards over a couple of years. Got a trip to CES one year in Germany too when they had a big stand there... I think I spent most of it drunk though hahaha

Omg that is impressive!

I definitely remember having seen this pic before.

In case this pic ever disappears (which I hope will not) it's 136 Matrox cards all in a single pic. Pic taken from several angles and the webpage includes a list.

Whats missing in your collections?

The pics are hosted by Vogons, so will be here as long as Vogons is

Tetrium, debs3759

I googled for one of the QVision cards,
wondering if it was a matrox chip,
and well,
one of the first links was to the korean forumpost of 2010 that has the photos and the list, the same photos and list as are on this thread from 2017...
seems kinda sus 😀

Well, someone has a big Matrox collection, and the list here gives me something to work from when I add Matrox cards to gpuzoo.com 😀

Not sure I agree about them being a nice colour though 😀
