You sure it's not a fake one?...

Haha, oh it's very real
Runs very well too. The OC Switch on the IO is Enabled so you see low power readings. It basically works as a shunt mod switch
ASIC: 73.6%

You have GT 710, which is Fermi based GPU

What? The GT 710 is Kepler-based. GK208B die.
Tesla: GTxxx
Fermi: GFxxx
Kepler: GKxxx
Maxwell: GMxxx
Pascal: GPxxx
Volta: GVxxx
Turing: TUxxx
Ampere: GAxxx

In a perfect world that would be the whole truth. However in nVidia's world SKU and ASIC are different things. Hence GF119 got dragged up through the ranks as a lower low end (and sometimes OEM) variant of 600 and 700 series small die Kepler. The rules stands if it's DDR3, it's Fermi. If it's GDDR5, it's Kepler.

Didn’t you just prove my point? 600/700 is not pure Kepler as there is Maxwell 750 Ti and some Fermi GT 6xx cards, and the GT 710 you linked is GF119 as Fermi. I said nothing about card number series as generations.

Your exact quote:

Which was directly addressed with the link to the GF119 GT 710. "The GT 710" can be any of the three; GF119, GK208A, or GK208B. Unless your point was something you kept to your inner monologue, in which case I can't read your mind to rebuttal.

I've got two DDR3 GT 710s, both of them are GK208B (Kepler). I think nvidia stopped making Fermi-based cards a good few years ago.

Ahh, I thought you were talking about the GTxxx = Tesla, GFxxx = Fermi thing. In the case of the GT 710 I am wrong.

I just order Matrox Xenia Pro didn't even know that this card existed....it's a GPU that is been used in medical industry but after some research I found out that card is also DX and open GL compatible so I am eager to see how this going to work in some 3d apps/benchmarks/games.....

I am also currently using Matrox P690 that consumes only around 5W and it's working super good in Win(10/11) as second GPU in my main Rig to supply picture for my side panels.....Xenia Pro should consume around 40W and on DMS 59 output apparently can provide 2x each up to the 8MP(4k)...I am really curious how this card is going to work....of course I am not expecting some ground breaking things but I just love to play with something that is rare and not ordinary.....
P.S.card should arrive tomorrow...so soon as I do some testing I will post results and my opinion.....

I'll second this! Very curious!

Ok guys....here how the things stands with the Matrox Xenia Pro....first I clean the GPU and change the paste here is the close up picture of the Matrox chip

I managed to get it to work but only under Win7 64Bit and it will work only as the Primary card as soon as you get other Gpu in the first slot Xenia will refuse to work...
GPUz could not recognized this GPU but Aida 64 provide some useful info

Xenia is only able to run Open Gl up to the 2.0 also Directx 9 is operational but...pfff barely operational...in passmark DX9 test it could manage to get 4 FPS....from other side 2D quality seems pristine colors are top notch.... also I did 2d passmark test.....

Overall 2D test was kinda average but simple vectors results was better then most of the other gaming cards.......
After all I have a "fun" doing this,card was really cheap cost me just a few bucks(5€) it's rare and unique I guess but It's not the card that you can use as your primary driver if you expecting to do gaming or any other 3d apps on it, also it will not work as secondary GPU like I am currently doing with the Matrox P690...to summarize Xenia simply it's not the card that you can run many 3d apps except maybe some really simple 3d or possibly some light retro gaming(this need to be tested)after all this card was used in specific medical industry and it was never intended to do some major 3D.....but from other side you still can watch videos and browse the web just fine with Xenia in fact 2D quality of picture was never in question with any Matrox cards.....

Oh very cool it does use Matrox's own ASIC. So it really is a more overbuilt M-series card with the same PX-A1 GPU.

Yeah most likely....I saw in some of the info/programs I believe it was speccy or maybe some other program but It recognized this Xenia card as M91xx Matrox...

 

[masterdeejay]

I also have a Matrox Xenia card. It is a dx9 card, but very slow in 3d. Opengl 2.0 supported but even quake3 engine games not starting.
3dmark06 0 fps in all scenes
3dmark01se it better but it is like an Fx5200 or Ati 9200

THX that's good to know.....so it means it's not a card that can be used even in retro gaming.....

 

[lexluthermiester]

That was not it's design or intended function. It is intended to be a card for digital displays for public areas like kiosks, animated signage at malls, airports, etc. It's a direct purpose built ASIC. Gaming was never the table for that series of cards. Matrox left the gaming sector long ago, which was sad as they had much to offer BITD.

 

[masterdeejay]

THX that's good to know.....so it means it's not a card that can be used even in retro gaming.....

It is for radiology (monochome) screens, 10 bit Grayscale Tones support. So i think it is better quality image than an average video card. For x-ray images it is very important.
Dx9 support is only for windows 2d desktop acceleration.

 

[Zyll Goliat]

Sure guys I know what was the card purpose...I already stated that above....but I didn't fully tested for some retro gaming so I was just thinking that it might be possible to play some old games on it...I mean it is kinda possible in maybe some very old titles yes but as @masterdeejay tested seems like a very poor performer even for retro gaming.....

Is radeon pro duo rare? (dual fury x)


Single GPU mode performance is between GTX1060-1070, but in crossfire (or multigpu dx12) mode it is better than RTX2080/5700XT. Old card but still good for fullhd (no AA, not all settings on ultra) gaming today. (https://logout.hu/cikk/ati_vs_nvidi..._ii/tesztek_deus_ex_mankind_divided_high.html)
This is in my main rig. It is cool and quiet. Just 2x4Gb vram but a lot of bandwidth.

Yeah those Pro Duos are very hard to find...wait for a few years and they going to be really rare I guess....ohh yeah and they are still really good performers especially in DX12/Vulkan titles....I know that as I am also still rocking Fury.....
