Looks like ATI is talking about running up to 4 monitors off of one card

http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/ati-displayport-cards-trickle-out/

We may not need TH2go anymore. But then again, that's an old article. I'm going to see if I can find something newer about it.

I see no benefit over my current TH2G Digital. I'd be all for this upgrade if it did 3x1920x1200 though.
Same here. Or if it fixed the Vista/nvidia WTH compatibility nightmare once and for all. And if I only had to upgrade the TH2G, and not the monitors + graphics cards. :?

Yeah, after looking into it more, I just bought the current digital version. No real benefit that I could see. It is a step in the right direction though. But the added expense of another gfx card and cables, it isn't the model that best suits my needs.
For someone that is about to build a new system or upgrade their gfx card, it would probably be in their best interest.
I do wonder if there will be a firmware update that will allow 1920x1200x3 with this new one though.
No matter though, the digital version will do me, for now anyway.

I dont understand this TH2GO update.....i was waiting to change my TH2GO with a new version that supported 1920x1200x3 but this looks to me just like a commercial move, totally useless for current users who already have a TH2GO setup.
New users will welcome the 60hz frequency at max res but that's all...
I'm really disappointed with Matrox, was really hoping to go back again to the native monitor resolution.

Im not an expert but there is a data transfer limit for video connections such as DVI and DP, this will bottleneck the system making impossible, for now, to get 1920x1200x3.

They can't do it with either the digital or analog current versions. The bandwidth simply doesn't exist in the cables.

Like trying to add a synthetic oil to your Honda to make it a Ferrari. You just can't do it.

Like trying to add a synthetic oil to your Honda to make it a Ferrari. You just can't do it.You could team up two DVI cables between your graphics card and the TH2G, then put the video card into span mode.

The TH2G would have to present itself as dual 2880x1200 monitors for triple 1920x1200...it could work, but it's not elegant...

this displayport version looks cool

as my 24" monitor doesn't do 1680x1050 @57hz :(
so I have to use 4380x900 :(


but I will wait for a new version or patch that does 1920x1200x3 at 60hz
(though I will have to get a new Videocard with displayport)

ohh well.
