Can I ask, in a non-confrontational way, what exactly you think is better
with the Matrox image rastering, as opposed to the Nvidia output. I suspect
you have seen both on the exact same CRT? It's really the only way to make a
meaningful comparison, which interests me, for I did see a noticable
difference with Matrox, some years ago, the quality of their high-pass
capacitors was to a degree better than the mediocre nvidia referenced ones,
particularly on the GeForce2 GTS.

Since then, nvidia's dictated analog output with rastering (2D for the
lesser geeks) has improved, to the point where it is better than where
Matrox's was then. Has Matrox's similarly improved to now be even better
than the FX's? Which is excellent.

n.b. I know certain manufacturers took it upon themselves to improve on
nvidia's questionable component specs, I'm specifically referring to the
reference designs.
