Low power VGAs from Matrox
The Millennium P690 family was released in six different versions.
Matrox, a manufacturer of professional graphics controllers, today unveiled its new range of cards, whose members have extremely low power consumption thanks to new manufacturing technology. The P690, a revised edition of the P650, is also available with standard and low profile PCBs, or a PCIe or PCI interface for proper compatibility. Thanks to the transition to 90 nm, the card consumes only 12 W, which allowed the manufacturer to use silent, passive ribs.
The perfect image quality and multi-monitor usage typical of Matrox cards also applies to the new series, but if someone wants to line up more than two monitors, they should look for the P690 Plus on store shelves. Availability later this month at the following prices:
- P690 PCIe × 16 MB: $ 128
- P690 PCI 128 MB: $ 199
- P690 LP PCIe × 16 MB: $ 128
- P690 LP PCI 128 MB: $ 249
- P690 Plus PCIe × 16 MB: $ 256
- P690 Plus PCI 256 MB: $ 289
