Has anybody had experince with the Methus Primeir 928 or Number Nime
GXE 11 or 12 with 3D Studio?
Martin,
We have a Metheus 928 in the office, but had to take it out of the machine
because the Windows drivers were so bad … hicolor modes for playing AVI files
left garbage on the screen. They would probably be O.K. for Autodesk
applications, but I would recommend going with Vibrant Graphics' drivers. Our
current favorite card is the Hercules Graphite; it does everything we want with
no problems, and is very fast.

Thanks for your comment.
I ended up going for the Number Nine GXE. Their company policy allows you to
trade in their cards for better models on a continious basis. They use Vibrant
drivers. And last, when ever I called, I spoke to a rep in less the one minute
– I called Methus for two days and still haven't gotten past an answering
machine.
I've been using the Metheus 4 meg card for 2 months now for windows and 3DS.
Works great, after returning a defective card! Original wouldn't do windows
256 color. They sent me another card next day air and all is well. I use the
Panacea driver downloaded here. Their tech support only responds to FAX
inquiries. Send them a fax and they call you back. I have an old #9 GXI level
25 and it works OK but is somewhat slow in true color. Better get that tradein
claim in writing. When I asked about trading up to a TC card they said they
would refer a buyer to me and let me make my own deal.
Good luck.
