The Matrox Parhelia AGP-8X 128MB Graphics Display Card delivers high-quality multi-display support, allowing for multiple DVI-I/SVGA monitor combinations plus a tv-out via the included HD-15 to composite video adapter. In addition, 128MB of DDR memory, AGP-8X technology and support for high-performance 2D and 3D applications make the Parhelia AGP-8X a viable option for both non-linear editing and digital content creation.
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) 8X/4X
AGP-compatible video cards augment their on-board memory with your computer's existing memory, vastly improving performance when used for high-volume data streams, such as in graphics processing and streaming video. The Parhelia AGP-8X supports AGP-8X and AGP-4X, enabling it to access the system memory up to 8 times faster than standard AGP.
128MB Double Data Rate (DDR) Memory
This 128MB DDR on-board memory is used primarily for frame buffering.
