It took me 3 months to figure it out, after several unanswerd e-mails to Matrox and a 2 hour technical non-support long distance call to Matrox, and Finally I got the answer. I found someone who found the answer for me (I own a G200 also), Matrox Thinks DOS is dead, therefore see's no point in supporting VESA AT ALL. Yup, The G200 has Shitty DOS performance because they sold out to Microsoft and decided to make DirectX the only platform that is supported well with the G200. My games dropped to 1/4 the performance of the normal framerate, so consider yourself lucky that you got 1/3 lol I unfortunately decided to learn DirectX programming, seeing as how I can't seem to be able to sell this shitty video card... *** Posted from RemarQ - http://www.remarq.com - Discussions Start Here (tm) ***
