Matrox are basically cards that are meant for developing etc, used in multimedia offices etc, we use them at my work aswell. for dual monitors etc, very good to use in that environment. or with 3dsmax etc, ATI and Nvidia are much better for gaming. I suggest taking one of them (i'd pick ATI). it's all really your personal favour though, Nvidia and ATI are basically comparable (I know there are some differents in FPS etc,etc, but overall it's all the same).
