Hi-
Samuel from Matrox here.
According to page 157 of the Watchout 6.0 manual, the "minimum requirements" listed are:
• Intel or AMD dual core processor (quad core to drive multiple displays). • USB port. • Ethernet port. • SATA hard disk (SSD recommended to drive multiple displays or for playing some video formats). • 4 GB rAM. Under 64 bit Windows, 8GB is recommended (more rAM will generally not improve performance). • PCI Express 16x video card slot. • Modern AMD or NVIDIA graphics card. • High quality audio output or sound card/interface. • Windows 7, 32 Bit “Home” (while WATCHOUT is a 32-bit application, it’s fully compatible with 64-bit Windows).
The soon-to-be-shipping C900 has comfortable 3D acceleration - including DirectX acceleration - comparable to the "business graphics" ranges in the nVidia (NVS) and AMD (FirePro W6xx and 2xxx series) product lines.
This product is really intended to run nine monitors in a 3x3 stretched desktop configuration acting as a single display.
It's ideal for presentation and digital signage applications on 3x3 video walls.
While we do have beta testers for this new card shipping soon, I am not aware of anyone having used Watchout with the C900 yet.
If anyone is interested in beta testing this combo, this is currently an option. (First come first serve).
Cheers!!
