Triple/quad monitor graphics cards by Matrox

Matrox has announced two new graphics cards for multi-monitor setups. The M9138 and M9148 as they are branded use a PCI-Express 16x connector and feature 1 GB of graphics memory. The new cards are an expansion to the company's existing 'M'-series and are able to connect three (M9138) or four (M9148) monitors through DisplaPort, with a maximum supported resolution of 2560x1600 per monitor. Thanks to the low-profile size of the card, it will also fit in smaller chassis.

Matrox's graphics cards have no sound production thanks to the passive cooling. The software that Matrox bundles with the cards allows any combination of monitors to be realized whilst retaining functions as pivot and stretching. The new Matrox cards can also be placed in a single system together, effectively doubling the maximum amount of supported monitors. Apart from DisplayPort, the Matrox M9138 and M9148 also support the more conventional DVI-interface. Shamefully, the maximum resolution through DVI is limited to single-link speeds, making for a total of 1920x1200 pixels.
