They seem to be workstation video cards. Those are always going to be pricey.

I think that's just Matrox for you. A dead company trying to make big bucks off of their shoddy old technology.

For what they do I don't think theres anything that work better, although I wouldn't reccomend trying to fire any games on them

Wow. I stand corrected on my previous post. I really did think that Matrox was just a dead old company....
