Matrox debuts triple and quad monitor DisplayPort M-series video cards

Matrox is still alive and kicking, the company just introduced a new series of graphics cards for DisplayPort monitors. The M9138 can drive three displays at a resolution of 2560 x 1600 per display, while the M9148 does the same trick on four displays. These cards should be available soon, but pricing is still unknown.

Expanding the M-Series product line, these new triple- and quad-monitor cards offer a remarkable 1 GB of memory, and with support for independent or stretched mode at resolutions up to 2560x1600 per output, users can drive business, industrial, and government applications on an exceptional multi-monitor platform.

"The first generation of Matrox DisplayPort graphics cards bring a tremendous amount of flexibility to today's DisplayPort users," says Samuel Recine, Director of Business Development, Matrox Graphics. "Not only can users choose any combination of pivoted, independent, or stretched displays, but also have the opportunity to combine two M9148 cards in a single system to drive up to eight DisplayPort or DVI monitors."

The Matrox M9138 and Matrox M9148 are low-profile graphics cards that make it easy to integrate into a wide variety of systems, and both offer optimal support for Windows® Vista Aero (WDDM mode).
