Display card (GPU) performance
Matrox RT.X2 relies on the power of your system GPU to perform Matrox Flex GPU effects such as 3D DVE, blur, shine, etc. To give you an idea of the relative realtime performance you can expect from various GPU options, we tested each GPU below with the same Adobe Premiere Pro timeline. The greater the value, the better performance you can expect. Note that GPU bandwidth alone does not determine realtime system performance. Other factors such as processor speed and storage also matter.
