Matrox still makes graphics cards? I remember at a previous job we had IBM PC's with Matrox video cards. These things would seem to die on a regular basis. I did discover one trick to get most of them function again with what I called the MMVCRD, 'Magic Matrox Video Card Repair Disk' which would reflash firmware to the card and make it function again. I also remember having some sort of Matrox card a very long time ago for my gaming rig.
The edge blending feature is very exciting. A couple of years ago we implemented a video wall using a single PC with an eyefinity video card and 4 projectors. The missing link was how to edge blend the whole thing. We found a piece of software that would do it and it worked well, but it was a $15,000 purchase. If I can do the same thing with this card and save $15,000 on project costs we might sell a few more of these systems.
The crappy 7750 is $109+ to $159, and they want $1,500 for this modded piece of junk.

Amd is evil, and far worse than nVidia ever was or ever will be. It appears the new amd is a fat pig money hog cheap piece of junk central doctrine company.
Your ignorance is entertaining. Watch a business channel sometime and look at all the displays in the trading areas...$$$ Professional cards always carry a premium and it's in the sofware. You obviously haven't priced professional graphics cards.

I wish I could find flat panels that are bezeless, edgeless, so that I could gang up 4 of them to make a giant display to fill a wall.TechArt - Wednesday, April 16, 2014 - link
Those bezel free displays are called "projectors".
