    Matrox and CS4—CS5

    shoot me now-d3u3se Community Member

      I'm using a Matrox P650 for CS3 and it's wonderful. Great color fidelity and image quality. Dual LUTs, 10 bit analog pipes (useless with DVI, but still...).

       

      Now, with CS5 on the way, I find that Matrox has apparently abandoned the Photoshop market. At least there's no indication from them that their cards are compatible with the current generation of the world's favorite image editor.

       

      So, my question: Is anyone using a current Matrox card with CS4 or 5 and receiving full GPU acceleration? If I forgo GPU acceleration, what do I give up?

       

      Finally, if I'm forced to use a second-tier (in my opinion) card from nV or ATI, what's a good option for a single x16 PCIe slot with no external power?

       

      Thanks.
