Any good for gaming..Matrox

Maybe a Dumb question here but I stumbled upon this while looking for PCI vid cards and this Matrox Parhelia came up in a couple variations, This one especially interested me, although Obviously you would have to have more money then brains to buy it for a graphics solution I would think?

I think it comes in all slot variations, But would it be a half decent card for gaming or strickly video editing and such and how would it compare to a high priced ATI or NVidia card??...

Found one review, though not a comparative - not sure if the current one is more evolved.

Earlier, it states DX9 Vertex shaders, but only DX8 (PS1.3) pixel shaders.

It's also supposed to be usable for multiheaded display gaming.

If you go PCI card and are a gamer, go nVidia or ATI low ends. Other companys video cards are not designed to be compatible with gaming.
