So I’ve had a bit of a thing for collecting some matrox cards this last few weeks. I had a 32MB g400 and a 16mb g400.

Today I’ve had a card delivered that’s a little bit special. See if you can work out why from the photos!

Looking forward to seeing what can be obtained from this card!

The G400MAX has a fan, so looks like a silent G400 with G400MAX VRAM.

If it were part of an audio workflow you'd demand silence. I know Matrox did some professional retail bundles that included a G400 along with a capture/decoder cards for NLE workflows, so maybe it's from one of those bundles?
